Abstract
THE PRESENT WORK DESCRIBES THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A VR HAZARD RECOGNITION TRAINING SYSTEM IN FORM OF A “SERIOUS GAME” INCORPORATING THE CONTINUOUS CASTING AREA OF TERNIUM BRASIL´S STEEL PLANT. BASED ON OUR FUNDAMENTAL LIFE-SAVING RULES, AUDITS AND INTERVIEWS, THE MOST RELEVANT RISKS IN THE CONTINUOUS CASTING AREA WERE IDENTIFIED AND INCORPORATED IN THE SIMULATION. THE EVALUATION OF THE TRAINEE’S FEEDBACK SHOWED A VERY GOOD RECEPTION OF THIS NEW TRAINING METHOD AND PROVED ITSELF AS VERY EFFECTIVE IN INCREASING THE EMPLOYEES’ ABILITY OF HAZARD RECOGNITION IN THE STEEL PLANT ENVIRONMENT. UTILIZING THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IN OUR SAFETY TRAINING, TERNIUM BRASIL MADE A CONSIDERABLE STEP FORWARD TO ITS VERY GOAL OF ZERO INCIDENTS.
