“I was impressed by Leo’s background in safety and the quality of products he and his team had developed in the past, but what struck me the most was his passion and enthusiasm to step outside the box and create a video that communicates safety principles in terms that are applicable to our projects. We now have a customized piece that we use universally to convey Hunter Roberts’s culture of safety and the behaviors that are expected of the men and women who work on our project sites.”

| “Our video is customized to reflect Hunter Roberts’s culture and show our sites. When you watch the video, you can see and hear the work going on in the background and you become part of it. I am definitely a fan of Crucible Safety. I would not hesitate to recommend them, because they make sure the job is done right. You will be happy with the end product.” |

| “We decided to convert our PowerPoint presentation to high-quality, professional movie clips that were interesting, educational and held our employees’ interest. We interviewed several companies and selected Crucible because of the quality of work they’d done before, their personal integrity and their passion for safety. We had an existing video, but the quality was horrible. In contrast, the clips Crucible provided were clear and demonstrated exactly what we wanted them to. Their work was delivered as promised and exceeded our expectations. If we make another video, we’ll use Crucible.” - |

| “The custom video that Crucible made is current and site specific. Now our workers are familiar with the environment before they ever set foot on the job site. During the shoot I heard many comments that the Crucible crew really ‘got it’ and they helped us put together content that flowed into a good story line. We are happy with our video and got exactly what we were looking for.” |

| "Prior to hiring Crucible, we'd been using canned videos as part of our safety training, but they just didn’t hold people's attention. In only two weeks, Crucible produced a video tailored to our safety manual using our equipment, our job sites and our people – and I was amazed at the quality. When people see themselves, their co-workers and their surroundings in the video, it has a bigger impact. Overall the result was outstanding." |

"Our orientations typically included an oral presentation given by one of our safety representatives or foremen. This gave us very little control over consistency, however, and left the training open to omissions. Crucible produced a video that addresses all the safety issues that crop up on a job, using our personnel at our sites. The process itself was a great experience and everyone loves the video, from management to new employees. It really reinforces how important safety is to Southland as a company." |

Reyanne C., Director of Safety, Southland Industries |
| “It was recognized 20 years ago that a custom safety orientation video would save time and improve retention by showing scenes of actual work displaying safety rules and principles deemed necessary for new employees. It was time to update the video and to expand coverage due to growth into structural steel, excavations and concrete. Also, environmental requirements needed to be added. The previous company used to shoot the video didn't know safety, which caused many scenes to be redone. With the selection of Crucible we got a safety professional -- and a good one - that resulted in a quality video that was done right the first time. Ideas and suggestions by Crucible led to the development of 4 video segments. Consequently, only those segments applying to the craft being oriented needed to be used. The video has helped boost retention and is being used around the world. Crucible had it translated into Spanish, Arabic, Chinese -- 13 different languages in all. It has been well received.” |

"We wanted a comprehensive orientation video for new hires as well as subcontractors that gave an overview of general hazards we see on our construction sites. For some small subs this may be the only safety training they’ve had in years. The custom video Crucible made for us is high-end movie quality. It's quick-paced, entertaining, informational and gives them a quick education before stepping onto the job site. Our employees and subs are more aware because of it." |

“Our consistently low experience modification rate reflects the strong culture of safety we have throughout the ranks of our organization. However, our safety orientation video had become outdated and, with the rapid growth we’ve been experiencing, our district safety directors didn’t have time to personally coordinate this project. We chose Leo (Crucible) not only because of their video production experience, but because he’s a safety professional. He was able to effectively manage the very challenging process of producing a video that met the standards of all five district safety directors. We now have a customized employee safety orientation video that everyone in our company will see – not just new hires.” |
Chris L. – Director of Safety & Health, Hensel Phelps Construction Co. |

“We’ve always had a strong safety program, but didn’t have anything much in place for safety orientation. We gave new hires a handbook, but never any formalized training. After using Crucible’s OSHA training CDs for many years, we asked Leo (Crucible) to make a customized safety video that directly addresses what happens here at our company. We were able to personalize it using our employees and our sites, and it’s been well-received and used at all 5 of our locations.” |
Ruben B., Corporate Safety Director, Commonwealth Electric |

We have been using Crucible's products for years. It's all about quality and dependability. Their multimedia CD has saved our captive members thousands of hours collectively in preparation time and the quality is great. A great value. And when we send Crucible out to a client's site for a custom production, we know that the job is going to get done right." |

"We’re an electrical contractor and we hire between 700 to 1,000 people a year. Some stay with us for a couple of weeks, some for 40 years. New hires who work the second or third shift may not get the attention they need or have time to read the handbook before their first day on the job. The video Crucible made is shot onsite with our own people and we had a lot of fun. It sinks home that we’re serious about what we’re doing. The video moves quickly and reinforces without too much repetition. Their cost was excellent, and Leo's background in safety helped guide us through issues, resulting in an effective and accurate safety video." |
Scott J., Safety Director, Kelso-Burnett Company |

| “We wanted a concise, applicable video that would introduce new hires to our company and show them our expectations from a safety standpoint. The video has an authentic feel because it represents actual things used on our jobsite - our tools, our equipment, our forming systems - it is very specific. From their first day on the jobsite, our new employees will actually see things from the video, and that strengthens its impact. We want our employees to understand how important safety is to us. Crucible excels at telling a story through video, while keeping it flowing to hold the attention of the viewers. The fact that Leo has been trained in safety and fully understood the concepts we wanted to portray was a key element of the video’s success. If we make another video, we'll go to Crucible first." |

"Pinnacol insures many of Colorado's ski areas and a majority of their claims are knee injuries. To help reduce those injuries, we hired Crucible to create a video for resort employees who ski on the job. Crucible came up with some great ideas on how to capture the things we wanted to demonstrate. We've interviewed mountain employees about the video and they’ve had positive comments. Some have even changed their skiing techniques as a result. We looked at other custom video companies but their costs were prohibitive. Crucible delivered an excellent product for the price." |

| "We wanted a general orientation video that we could use across the country to consistently represent our safety concerns. It's hard to find off-the-shelf videos that deal with the things we deal with on the job site. The video Crucible produced actually relates to what we do. They worked as part of our team to help us get the job accomplished and the product meets our needs very well." |
Shawn P., Corporate Safety Director, National Boiler Service, Inc. |

The safety training videos we used in the past were ancient – employees demonstrating safety awareness in crew cuts and saddle shoes on very outdated manufacturing equipment. We wanted our factories to have specialized safety orientation videos specific to their plant. I had the good fortune of meeting Leo. He understood the vision and produced exactly what I was looking for. By customizing the safety training, we have sent a message to the employees that their safety is our priority. Injuries are down and worker's comp rates are on a downward trend. Proper safety training really pays off.” |
