Safety Gamification
This document discusses using interactive safety simulations to improve safety culture. It identifies some common risk factors like insufficient knowledge of risks and regulatory requirements. High-risk groups include males, youth, older workers, self-employed, and those with low literacy. Even highly literate workers can be busy and distracted. The document provides examples of safety simulations used in New Zealand, including ones for fire services procedures, farm safety, and medical training. Research shows safety simulations can increase skill and factual knowledge retention compared to traditional training. Benefits include accessibility, scalability, measurability, and ability to rehearse high-risk situations safely. An evaluation of ACC's "SafeHouse" home safety game pilot found thousands of people voluntarily played

- 24. ACC’s Home SafetySerious Game • Every year, more than 10,000 Kiwis need to take a week or more off work because of a home fall • More than one third of the roughly 1.7 million claims ACC receives every year are for injuries received in and around the home • Around 40% of home injuries happen because of falls • Most falls happen to working age people www.safehouse.co.nz
- 25. Learning Objectives • Identifyrisks and what to do about it • The assessment of a risk – low; medium; high. • Address the ‘it will not happen to me’ mindset • Understand the notion that familiarity leads to complacency • Understand that our actions change outcomes for others • Be able to assess the impact of gravity and heights But how to get people to volunteer to play

Safe House PilotResults 8,769 people played the serious game in 3 months • which caused 70,846 virtual injuries • and 6,686 virtual deaths • 63% of app users used it more than once • App users voluntarily played for 11:43 minutes on each visit • 45% app players reached level 3 (25 minutes of effort), covering the core learning objectives. • Exceeded expectations in user testing.
