Playfully raise and maintain awareness
The Stop Work Authority (SWA) or Time Out Policy promote safety on project sites. However…. having such a policy is one thing, living it is another. That’s where the value of serious gaming comes in. How do we ensure that your managers, personnel and subcontractors speak up when identifying risks?
Temper Risks
In the Danger Dialogues game kit participants do not only practice with the Stop Work policy by stopping (potentially) hazardous situations as they occur, but are encouraged to engage in frequent conversation to temper risks as well.
Discuss Safety
People may have different perspectives on what is safe, and what is not. In these serious games players learn to discuss safety within their team. Engaging in conversations about safety playfully becomes a regular practice.
Address barriers
There are many reasons why people will not speak up in a group. You may think of actors such as influence of hierarchy or insecurity, to the effect of groupthink and the bystander effect. Danger Dialogues effectively addresses these factors.
A world-class partnership
The Danger Dialogues Game Kit was developed and validated in an international consortium of partners to ensure its effectiveness and fit within the industry.

How it all started
Organisations go through great lengths to ensure a safe working environment for their personnel. Risks are assessed at various levels within the organisation, and associated risk controls and mitigating measures are implemented.
One of the last barriers is the so-called Stop Work Policy – the authority for personnel to speak up in case of an unsafe situation. But what if employees do not speak up?
Quattor P saw that many organisations that have Stop Work Policies, did not have them implemented effectively. Effective implementation and employees speaking up could prevent many incidents. Therefore, we decided we wanted to come up with a solution. We approached Raccoon Serious Games – a serious games designer – for their experience. Together, we founded a consortium with many partners to include experience from the industry, and with funding of the Dutch Government (RVO), we could do solid research towards the solution.

The results of our research towards hampering and motivating factors of stop work were the base of our design. After an iterative design phase – in which concepts were tested, adjusted, and retested – we could finally work on the final design.
The final design is thoroughly tested, together with TU Delft, to ensure our serious gaming intervention is doing what it should do.
