PROJECT CANARY
Imagine a workplace with zero harm to employees….
PROJECT CANARY will help make that workplace your workplace.
The Mining Industry Skills Centre in collaboration with simulation experts, QinetiQ, have developed an industry first serious-games based training tool that will revolutionise training in the resources industry.
The tool places users in a fully customisable virtual world, where they are confronted with real-life workplace scenarios that test their safety knowledge and risk assessment capabilities.
By completing these specifically designed scenarios, users are able to explore how and why risk exists and apply the skills of risk assessment while encouraging behavioural change around safe working practices.
All of the scenarios incorporate effective adult learning principles by placing an individual in a safe virtual environment where they are allowed to apply their safety knowledge. This allows mistakes to be made without dire consequences. Observing the realistic consequence of decisions has proven to increase the retention and application of safe workplace behaviour.
The beauty of PROJECT CANARY is that the user interface and scenarios featured in the training tool are fully customisable to suit an individual employers workplace requirements.
PROJECT CANARY is a world first in training for the resources industry.
The training revolution, begins now... | more
PROJECT CANARY is an advanced training tool that is adapted to the best adult learning methodologies, to produce a cutting-edge outcome for all concerned in the industry. It is the biggest development in moving the industry towards its goal of zero harm.
