How a simulation game builds real safety culture: Uwe Schüttler on gamification, occupational safety, and reducing accident rates in industry.
How can companies build a genuine safety culture – beyond mandatory briefings and routine safety meetings? Gamification in occupational safety offers a proven approach that makes complex content tangible through active experience rather than passive instruction.
Uwe Schüttler, safety engineer and founder of Concept Pro Safety, developed an analog simulation game specifically for this purpose. Teams compete to build the safest production site – working with limited resources, unexpected events, and one clear objective: achieve the lowest accident rate. What sounds like a game delivers measurable results in real-world environments.
In this interview with GOOD TO KNOW!, Schüttler explains why workplace safety requires far more than training sessions, which target groups benefit most from the simulation – from team leaders to CEOs – and how organizations can translate their insights into lasting safety programs.
