For those unaware, Staplerfahrer Klaus is a gory, dark-comedy PSA about the hazards of forklifts in warehouses: [this video] Most training modules are dry and clinical. This one is the opposite. Many people are killed, dismembered, and otherwise mutilated. I think the combination of good comedy and vividly illustrated consequences makes Klaus far more effective and memorable than the average corporate training module that OP is discussing.
