Today I would like to introduce you to a tool that WorkCover NSW has put together.

WorkCover NSW has produced a young workers eLearning tool Hazard a Guess. The tool is aimed at employers, educators, students and young workers and helps employers and trainers meet their OHS training obligations and in turn contributes to lower injury rates in young workers.

Hazard a Guess is a ‘game show’ style environment where the user is presented with a range of OHS and injury management topics and questions. As the user selects a topic they are presented with a scenario in which they must make a series of decisions about which actions to take. Each scenario is worth a certain amount of money. Actions that result in dangerous or reckless behaviour result in the loss of money and the characters being injured or killed.

The site was launched on 1 March 2010 and is free for all to access and use.

Dowell Solutions recommends (if you haven’t already) to have a look at it and consider it as a tool for your OHS inductions or safety awareness sessions, it even covers bullying in the workplace. It can be run for one person or run as a group activity and it is very interactive.
