UPDATE [10-07-2008]: Etcetera Edutainment announces the release of NSC Safetyworks™ Lift Truck.





Forklifts are one of the most commonly found types of mobile equipment in industry today, and if not operated properly, they can be one of the most dangerous.

To help companies improve their forklift training and reduce the number of workplace accidents, Etcetera Edutainment, in partnership with the National Safety Council (NSC) is developing NSC SafetyWorks™ Lift Truck, an interactive training game that puts trainees behind the wheel in a virtual factory setting.

Based on leading-edge videogame technology and interactive training techniques, NSC SafetyWorks™ Lift Truck delivers instruction in OSHA-compliant forklift safety standards and best practices by putting trainees through the paces with tasks that they would commonly find in a real work environment. This software gives users hands-on experience with inspection, traffic rules, load movement, and more, all in a virtual workplace filled with people, vehicles, and safety hazards that they must master. An exam mode lets trainees apply the lessons they have learned, tracks their performance, and gives them feedback so that they can learn from the errors and mistakes that they made.
