Office Hazard Identification 3D: Find 14 Hazards
This is office hazard identification in 3D, and you can walk around it. It looks like a modern game: an open-plan office with desks, a cupboard, a tea trolley and a fire door that someone has wedged open with boxes. Your job is to find the 14 hazards, from the overloaded power strip to the man tipping his chair back on two wheels.
What makes this version different
The room, the desks and the people are modelled in detail, with the light of the ceiling panels and of a sunny window baked into every corner. It opens on a light version so it starts quickly on a phone; the ? button in the game loads high detail (12 MB). It runs in your browser and takes 2 free minutes on each game, no sign-up.
What you will practise
Fire doors, overloaded sockets, lifting, chairs and spills.
How to play
- On a phone or tablet: your left thumb walks, a drag anywhere else looks around, and a tap identifies.
- On a computer: W, A, S and D walk, dragging the mouse looks around, and a click identifies.
- Keyboard only: the arrow keys walk and turn, Page Up and Page Down look up and down, and Enter identifies whatever is in the centre circle.
Use it with your team
- As a group: put one game on a projector or a TV. One person walks, and the group calls out what they see.
- One each: send the link to everyone’s phone. Each person plays alone, then compare scores and the hazards people missed.
- Talk it through: the end screen lists every missed hazard. Ask the team which of them you have on your own site, and who will fix it.
- On paper: ten of the games come with a PDF and a PowerPoint of the picture with the answers, linked under each game above.
If you run safety for a team, POLLE Safety is free web software for Permit to Work, Toolbox Talks, Safety Committee and Spot the Hazard 3D: free, every module, no card, no caps. Try it.
