Harry’s Hazardous Day is a new and engaging approach to workplace examination and hazards training. The game gives trainers the tools they need to teach good inspection practices, explore worker responsibilities, and hone situational awareness skills. Harry’s Hazardous Day features a story-driven scenario with realistic environments that change over time and many hazards that workers encounter every day – and some they don’t.
Intricately detailed worksites feature realistic activities, distractions, and hazards.
