• Description:
  Motivated by MSHA's 24 "Rules to Live By," we are developing "serious games" to address three training objectives: 1) Improve workers' technical competencies in the site inspection process; 2) Facilitate efficient communication and understanding of related rights and responsibilities, within the operational structure of the organization; and 3) Augment workers' situational awareness during the course of daily job activities. In this talk, we will present a serious game for pre-shift inspections in sand, gravel, and cement that features a realistic gaming world and modular content. The game was developed in close collaboration with industry stakeholders and addresses many of the top 20 types of MSHA violations, ranging from high-risk guarding and ground control problems to relatively minor housekeeping issues. We will discuss important factors in the game design, as well as initial results and industry feedback. A virtual reality-enabled adaptation, using commodity VR headsets, will also be presented.
