Abstract

The Construction Industry has one of the highest rates of injury and fatality in Australia and across the world. A key challenge for OH&S training is to engage learners. Construction students tend to be experiential learners and class room teaching is often not engaging for them. In this project we developed a computer game aimed to motivate students to learn about construction sites hazards and their management via application of OH&S controls. The exhibition showcases the game.
