SME: Dan Hannan

A workplace incident has occurred, but before the investigation can begin, hidden hazardous energy sources must be identified and secured. In this immersive 360° gamified learning experience, players take on the role of a safety investigator tasked with exploring realistic industrial environments, uncovering concealed hazards, and solving the mystery behind each incident. 
 
Learners begin with a mini-game that reinforces recognition of hazardous energy types, including electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, gravity, thermal, chemical, and engulfment hazards. They then progress through interactive investigation scenes where they inspect equipment, verify hazardous energy sources, and classify each type of energy before the investigation can safely proceed. 
 
Once hazards are controlled, players analyze clues from the incident scene to determine which energy source caused the event. Through exploration, critical thinking, and scenario-based problem solving, learners strengthen their hazard recognition and energy isolation awareness while reinforcing the importance of lockout/tagout and safe investigation practices.
Course Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify common forms of hazardous energy found in industrial and manufacturing environments.
  • Distinguish between electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, thermal, chemical, gravity, and engulfment hazards.
  • Recognize potential hazardous energy sources that must be isolated or secured before an incident investigation can begin.
  • Apply hazard recognition and energy source identification skills within realistic 360° workplace scenarios.
  • Analyze workplace clues and incident evidence to determine the hazardous energy source involved in an incident.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of how uncontrolled hazardous energy contributes to workplace injuries and incidents.
  • Reinforce the importance of proper lockout/tagout awareness and energy control procedures prior to maintenance, servicing, or investigation activities.
