Story

Port worker injuries and deaths in the Middle East are a massive, under-reported issue.

Port workers need support and training that creates healthier, safer working environments.

OSH Ports is a new online learning programme designed to curb the unacceptably high numbers of port injuries and deaths in the Middle East.

Approach

We converted technical content into an engaging online experience. That experience includes games, quizzes, and assessments.

We developed the fictional world of Sunny Bay.

Photos and video of unsafe port working conditions is challenging. We animated and illustrated these conditions.

We collaborated with the ITF-ST, digital education specialists, union representatives, and industry experts.

The result is a digital experience designed to create safer work environments. 

Results

OSH Ports is available to port workers around the Middle East. Available in English and Arabic. It is eight hours of quizzes, assessments, video, animation, and meaningful content.
