Abstract: Work accidents affect thousands of people in the industry every year, and the most efficient way to reduce them is to apply more interesting and engaging safety training sessions. Thus, developing and using games for safety training purposes is an innovative idea for this problem. In this article, using the SafetyPlay Game Design method, we create a game for fire extinguisher safety training for the construction industry. We validated the game with two civil engineers, specialists in fire training, who considered it an excellent manner to help workers in this training scenario.
