Addressing the needs of gaming approach in hazard identification training

Construction industry is reportedly the third highest accident occurrence after manufacturing and agriculture. Research have shown that hazard is the major factor that contributes to accident on construction sites. Thus, training on hazard identification is important to construction workers as they...
