Training Simulation for Construction and Agricultural Work Site Safety

ForgeFX Simulators ( http://forgefx.com ) developed this interactive 3D safety training game for California State Compensation Insurance Fund, California’s largest provider of workers’ compensation insurance. http://www.forgefx.com/casestudies/insurance/safety-training-simulation.htm The 3D simulation-based game immerses players in specific industrial workplace environments, where their knowledge of hazards, and the necessary safety precautions used to avoid them, are put to the test. Players of the game will retain the information they’ve learned in the virtual environment, and apply it while on the job in the real-world, helping to avoid costly accidents.
The interactive 3D safety training game allows players to learn about the hazards they may face in the work place, and experience the potential consequences of mistakes, in a fun and safe virtual environment. The Construction level of the game allows the player to assume the role of a construction worker, working on a home construction site. In order to complete the level, the player must complete all of the tasks associated with the job of installing sheets of roofing plywood.
The simulated construction site gives the user just enough freedom to make their own decisions, and mistakes, when completing tasks. While the game might allow the player to move materials by themselves, they may learn the hard way that they’ve put themselves in a more dangerous position than need be.
The Agriculture level places players into a fruit orchard where they must harvest the product, all the while paying attention to safely maneuvering through the virtual environment. Players who fail to hydrate themselves and stay out of the sun will run low on energy, move and work more slowly, and ultimately collapse due to exhaustion.
If you’re charged with training people to perform their jobs as safely as possible, you’re aware of the challenges associated with conducting training and keeping trainees engaged in the subject material. Interactive 3D training simulators and games allow you to provide your people with a safe and cost effective training solution.
