| The objective of MARCOM's "Office Ergonomics" Safety Game is to involve employees in the process of recognizing ergonomic problems, the potential of adverse effects, and practical solutions they can use to help deal with ergonomic problems in the office. MARCOM's "Office Ergonomics" Safety Game addresses how to recognize ergonomic problems, the potential of adverse effects, and practical solutions employees can use to help deal with ergonomic problems in the office. Every job makes a different set of demands on the body. Today the issue of how this impacts employees, and what can be done to reduce or eliminate adverse effects is receiving a lot of attention. While there is much debate about many aspects of ergonomics, everyone agrees on one thing... that is by using proper ergonomic techniques, employees can be safer and more productive as well as feel better at the end of the day. The Game includes information on physiology of the body, parts of the body most affected, 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. |
