Warehouse Safety Game: Find 9 Hazards in Realistic 3D
This is a warehouse safety game you can walk around. It looks like a modern game: shelving with jars and sacks, a mezzanine with a railing, a pallet truck, a woman struggling with a box and a concrete floor that has a pothole in the aisle. Your job is to find the 9 hazards, from the unlabelled stock to the pallets dumped across the walkway.
What makes this version different
The hall, the shelving and the people are modelled in detail, with concrete, plywood and rough timber scanned from real surfaces and the light of the lamps and the high windows 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
Damaged floors, housekeeping, unlabelled material and blocked pathways.
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.
