Special Site Hazards
The story reflects the hazards a worker can encounter on site. Inappropriate attitude and bad practices are shown, as well as good ones. The aim is for the users to define what is good and what should be avoided at a work site so the worker is kept safe and away from any hazards that can influence in any way his/her health and/or safety.

Safe Isolation – a Virtual Reality case
This VR (Virtual Reality) case study will enable the learners to view and interact with the working environments in the safety of the classroom environment.
Learners should explore at their own pace giving them greater depth of the working environment than traditional resources such as posters, hand-outs and books.
How to watch the VR video:
- On a computer you can use the mouse to move around the room.
- On Tablets and Smartphones. The use of hand held mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads or similar devices will give a better result with the ability to use the real time motion tracking sensors. You can download VR viewing apps from Google Play or APP Store

Risk Assessment 2
The case is based on the participants watching a video where they’ll point out all the work environment issues they observe during the video.
The safety and work environment issues demonstrated in the video are:
- Flexible wire trapped in a closed door – predict problems/risks
- Faulty technical equipment – (bent leg of an aluminum ladder)
- Technical equipment – (Power drill without dust extraction attachment)
- Drilling near power cables – predict problems/risks
- Personal protective equipment – gloves, safety goggles, ear protector, dust mask
- Personal protective equipment – shoes, safety shoes, loose fitting shoes on ladders
- Ladder positioned behind a door– predict problems/risks
- Flex repaired with tape – inappropriate solution
