Forklift Safety Games

Marcom

Marcom has designed a forklift safety game patterned after the famous TV game show 'Jeopardy.' The game is played on a computer using a CD-ROM disc. Two teams are created to play against each other, meaning a large group of employees can be trained at the same time. The trainer plays the role of host of the game show as employees answer questions about forklift safety in order to edge out the opposing team.

Etcetera Entertainment

Etcetera Entertainment partnered with the National Safety Council to develop a forklift simulator game that is played on a computer. Employees are put behind the wheel of a virtual forklift in a warehouse and perform common forklift tasks in accordance with OSHA safety standards. The virtual environment features other forklifts, people, and safety hazards that employees learn to avoid. Logitech offers two racing wheels that are compatible with the game, or employees can play using a keyboard and mouse.

Safety Bingo

The game of Safety Bingo follows the same general rules as regular bingo. Each employee is given a bingo card. Every day a different number is posted in a certain place (like a break room) for everyone to see. The first person to get five numbers in a row wins a prize as determined by management. If there is an injury one day, then the game starts over on the next day and everyone gets a new card. Safety Bingo provides a fun incentive for forklift operators to keep the workplace accident-free.
