Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite the movement to improve process safety, incidents in chemical-related industries are still occurring around the world. Personnel process safety lack of knowledge is a typical cause of these events. Process safety is an integral part of a chemical engineer’s work. Employees’ discontent with chemical engineering graduates’ process safety understanding revealed deficiencies in undergraduate courses. Inadequate accident investigation and prevention training has also hampered graduates’ knowledge and preparation for high-risk jobs. To address the gaps, an online game platform was suggested and tested with 450 undergraduate students at different levels and disciplines. Virtual reality process safety game proven to improve chemical engineering graduates’ process safety competency while delivering industry experience. The approach is also believed to improve students’ problem-solving and decision-making skills and motivate engagement to study process safety. The main features of the game are desired to be online web-based with serious role-play integrated into real-life simulation activities.
