Gamificação Instrucional na Engenharia de Segurança e Saúde do Trabalho

Abstract

This dissertation aims to develop a gamified prototype proposal, using gamification concepts and game design theories, based on research and analysis of instructional/educational gamification techniques that can contribute to the processes of information and training in good working practices for workers in the engineering and civil construction sector, as well as in the management and prevention of environmental risks on construction sites. Based on the research, studies, analyses, and data collected through qualitative questionnaires with safety professionals, companies, and workers in the field, regulatory standards, and investigations of workplace accidents, it was possible to understand the daily lives of these professionals on a construction site, as well as the difficulties of managing these workers and the possible causes of workplace accidents and the development of occupational diseases in the context of civil construction. This led to proposals and prototypes for instructional gamification of Worker Safety and Health in a game-oriented interface system developed using a game engine/graphics engine. In conclusion, the prototype system developed for the user, when implemented, will enable simulations of risk environments in civil construction, with events and actions for training and improving knowledge of good work practices and occupational health and safety through game mechanics - such as goals, challenges, scores, achievements, rewards, and levels. Ultimately, the gamified system processes, in addition to training and educating users, assist in Daily Safety Dialogues (DDS) and environmental risk prevention programs, promoting the physical and mental well-being of workers.
