| The objective of MARCOM's "Slips, Trips and Falls" Safety Game is to involve employees in the process of understanding the situations that can lead to slips, trips & falls, and what they can do to avoid or prevent these accidents. MARCOM's "Slips, Trips and Falls" Safety Game shows employees the situations that can lead to slips, trips & falls, and what they can do to avoid or prevent these accidents. Most employees don't give much thought to the prospect of slipping, tripping or even falling on the job. Yet these types of accidents account for more workplace injuries annually than any other accident category. Many of these injuries can be disabling... or even fatal. The Game includes information on why slips, trips and falls occur, common causes of accidents, potential health effects of resulting injuries, techniques used to avoid injury, the importance of safety shoes, safe use of ladders and similar equipment, 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. |
