Proactive safety culture in Nigeria through engineering education: A key to the prevention of catastrophic incidents in the industry

Advances made in promoting a culture of preparedness through disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives are strong building blocks to promote more comprehensive changes at the policy level and strengthen resilience in the everyday lives of children, families, schools, and the communities they serve. Proactive safety entails constantly ensuring the safety efficacy of systems, procedures, and people. Process safety entails the identification and understanding of potential hazards, the evaluation of consequences, safeguards, and risks, and the addition of layers of protection to prevent and/or mitigate incidents. The purpose of this study is to review the proactive safety culture in Nigeria through engineering education as a key to the prevention of catastrophic incidents in the industry. A strong safety culture is required to protect employees, but it is especially important for protecting students and developing their skills and awareness of safety. A questionnaire was developed to obtain feedback from industry experts and other stakeholders on the appropriate contents of an undergraduate course on safety that will produce safety-conscious engineering graduates and ultimately a culture of safety in Nigeria. These questions were asked in the following areas: safety assessment in Nigeria, importance of safety education, and safety courses for engineering students. Based on the responses from the 250 questionnaires distributed and 208 responses, a safety course curriculum was suggested with a possible 30 course outlines that could support students at different stages in their development, and as such, it would be expected that students’ safety skills improve as they progress through their degree.

Design and Development of a Safety Educational Adventure Game

The lack of effective safety education training in curriculum design could expose children to serious safety accidents both in schools and at homes in China. To highlight the importance of safety education, this study was intended to design and implement an adventure video game (AVG) on mobile devices, hoping to improve children’s safety knowledge and skills through interactive gameplay. The proposed AVG app situated children in real dangerous circumstances through roleplaying and then engaged them in learning safety re-lated knowledge through case scenarios. To balance the entertainment and edu-tainment of the game, this app integrated theories of game design and child de-velopment to support its design rationale, including interface interaction and game badges. This app was evaluated through interviews and video analysis so that later improvements were made according to feedback from participants, parents and experts.
