Train your team to protect their hands by recognising risks before injury occurs through an immersive warehouse-based experience focused on preventing one of the most common and severe workplace injuries. The training uses practical scenarios and reactive environments to build the ability to identify high-risk tasks, assess danger, and apply appropriate controls in real time.
Hand injuries occur quickly, cause significant pain, and can permanently affect a worker’s ability to perform their job, yet most are preventable with correct controls and awareness.
The training places users in high-risk warehouse and industrial environments where they are required to:
- Identify common hand safety hazards.
- Observe the consequences of unsafe actions, such as bypassing guards or using incorrect PPE.
- Apply the Hierarchy of Controls and the Risk Assessment Matrix to minimise exposure.
- Select and implement effective control measures to prevent lacerations, fractures, and amputations.
This practical, scenario-based approach reinforces instinctive hazard recognition and safe work behaviours, supporting hand protection during every task and shift.
Features:
- Explore a dynamic warehouse environment where the consequences of improper hand safety unfold in real time.
- Practice applying the Hierarchy of Controls and the Risk Assessment Matrix.
- Access integrated analytics and learner performance tracking.
- Available in 13 languages.
- Modelled from Unit of Competency: BSBWHS211.
