Context

Conducting risk assessments and effectively communicating the findings at scale throughout an organisation presents a significant challenge, especially in complex, high-hazard environments such as mining, construction, manufacturing, transportation, or the energy sector. These challenges also exist in municipalities, healthcare, and education. Communicating these findings to all relevant stakeholders quickly, in an accessible and meaningful way, is essential in industrial endeavours to prevent accidents and foster a strong safety culture.

Challenge

A construction organisation recognised the challenges of its dynamic work environments, involving multiple hazardous energy sources, heavy machinery, and interdependent work systems. Effective risk assessments require specialised skill and a comprehensive understanding of work systems, which can be difficult to standardise. Additionally, the organisation understood the difficulty in managing large data sets.

Approach

The ViVA human factors team facilitated design sprint workshops with domain experts, developing challenge statements to frame the objectives. They partnered with an extended reality partner to develop proof-of-concept solutions.

Outcomes

ViVA framed the proof-of-concept storyboards with their technology solutions partner to craft a visual, photo-imagery storyboard enabling interactive hazard identification, voice-to-text conversion, cloud-based reporting, and artificial intelligence closed-domain support systems.
