What is PROJECT CANARY?
PROJECT CANARY is an industry first serious games-based simulation training tool developed by the Mining Industry Skills Centre in collaboration with simulation experts, QinetiQ.
The tool places individuals in a virtual world where they are confronted with current workplace scenarios from coal and metalliferous surface mining, as well as underground coal mining.
This virtual world enables users to explore how and why risk exists and allows them to apply the skills of risk assessment while encouraging behavioural change around safe working practices.
How is PROJECT CANARY best utilised?
The way PROJECT CANARY is intended to be used is in a learning environment, preferably under the supervision of an instructor.
There are scenarios that require an instructor to view a trainee’s progress and then run through the results with the trainee at the end of the scenario. Other scenarios allow the trainee to complete the scenario independently.
