Abstract: Most practitioners consider safety training in construction as a must-have but tedious and repetitive task. Novel technologies and learning approaches, such as gamification, have the potential to increase worker engagement and motivation towards safety training. This paper reports on the development of a game for safety training in construction and the game evaluation by a group of construction professionals. The study aims to evaluate the capacity of gamification to impact safety training. Based on the results, changing current practice to a more gamified approach to safety training and learning has a significant positive impact on safety awareness.
