| The objective of MARCOM's "Industrial Ergonomics" Safety Game is to involve all employees in the process of understanding ergonomic problems and potential adverse effects and to use pragmatic solutions to address these problems. MARCOM's "Industrial Ergonomics" Safety Game reviews recognizing ergonomic problems, potential adverse effects and pragmatic solutions employees can use to address to these problems. In recent years potential ergonomic problems have become a major concern in many business environments. Many facilities are now devoting significant time and effort to controlling the twisting, turning, stretching and other motions that place stress and strain on employees' body. The Game focuses on potential ergonomic problems in manufacturing, assembly and warehouse situations. The Game includes information on physiology of the body, parts of the body most effected, eye strain, pragmatic preventative measures, correct use of office equipment, exercises and stress release, 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. |
