Manufacturing Scenario
You are the head of Amalgamated Polyscientific Enterprises International, a company that manufactures parts for next-generation hovercrafts. Your goal is to ensure that your workers remain safe.
You must find hazards to maintain a safe workplace. There are 4 kinds of tools for finding hazards.
- Collect Info - Read any information you may have (manuals, safety data sheets, OSHA data, etc) to find hazards that have already been identified by others.
- Inspect & Observe - Inspect equipment and areas, and observe processes in action.
- Involve Workers - Talk to your workers and listen to their feedback.
- Investigate Incidents - Whenever an incident occurs, use that as an opportunity to learn about hazards that may have been overlooked.
- Prioritize - Evaluate the hazards you have identified and fix the most hazardous first.
Tools
- Hazard Identification Tools: To find hazards, you can click on equipment, people, and areas in the plant.
- Selecting a piece of equipment gives you access to the hazard identification information and available actions related to the selected equipment.
- Selecting a person gives you access to the "Talk" action for the selected worker.
- You can also inspect an area of your plant. Selecting an area of the plant gives you access to hazard identification information and the Inspect action for the selected area.
- If you have questions, you can access various resources from the "Game Manual".
