Harness Hero is back, this time with Bridge Edition! This video game engages players in the key decisions of using a fall arrest system for bridge construction projects. At each step in the game, the player chooses where to anchor, how to set up the harness, what connection device to use, and so on. The player also inspects the equipment along the way for burns, rips, rust, dents, missing pieces and other malfunctions. At the end of each play, the player encounters a fall, and depending on how well they did setting up their fall arrest system, the player will either witness a rescue or a severe injury or maybe even worse. Harness Hero was developed under the guidance of safety professionals from all corners of the construction industry. Falls are the leading cause of death among construction workers in the United States. To protect workers, employers must not only provide the right protective equipment but must ensure workers understand proper setup and safe use of that equipment. Start practicing proper fall arrest setup in a fun and safe way! Harness Hero: Bridge Edition is a Simcoach Skill Arcade app. Explore careers, practice basic job skills and earn badges to gain exposure to careers and training opportunities in your area.
