| The objective of MARCOM's "Fire Prevention and Safety" Safety Game is to involve employees in the process of learning what causes workplace fires, and what can be done to prevent them. MARCOM's "Fire Prevention and Safety" Safety Game reviews the causes of workplace fires, and what can be done to prevent them. It reviews steps that can be taken to help prevent fires, as well as what employees should do in case of a fire emergency. Among all the safety problems an employee can encounter, fire can be the most frightening. Every year workplace fires cause hundreds of millions of dollars in damage and result in numerous employee injuries, many of which are fatal. Yet many employees do not realize how their own work practices can contribute to the risk of fire. The Game includes information on common causes of workplace fires, importance of good "housekeeping”, other fire prevention measures, various types of fire extinguishers, using fire extinguishers, evacuation and other employee responsibilities, first aid, and more. The Safety Game is a Jeopardy-style, computer-based training game that involves all employees in the training process. Employees are divided into teams that compete to obtain the best game score. The trainer acts as the game show “Host”, controlling the game board through the computer (the computer image is projected on a wall or screen in the classroom, or hooked up to a large monitor that all employees can see). Each Game consists of a 20 to 25 question match. Questions are divided into categories of important information from the topic. Games can be purchased alone... or with MARCOM’s Video Program on the same subject for the ultimate safety training session (show the Video, then play the Game). Games (as well as matching videos) are available on over 20 topics. A demo of The Safety Game can be downloaded from the internet. |
