Ready to show off Safety and Health knowledge? All six team members will work together to clear the Jeopardy board within 60 minutes. This exciting event tests students’ knowledge and the ability to think on their feet. All test questions are based on the required knowledge for the ASP exam.
Teams will work together to inspect a virtual workspace, using virtual reality technology. They will need to work together to identify all the hazards, find the General Industry standard associated with those hazards, and develop recommendations for corrective actions before the time runs out! All six team members will participate in this event.
Safety professionals must be able to effectively articulate in writing and in presentations the nature of hazards and risks. They may also need to address dangerous situations in a timely manner. In this event, teams draw a topic (hazard) at random and are provided 45 minutes to develop a presentation and 15 minutes to deliver it. Three of the team members will participate in this event.
Teams will select a safety issue, prior to the competition, that is a current problem in industry. Teams will create an innovative solution to that problem. In advance of this event, they will also prepare a boardroom style presentation to introduce their solution. During this event, three team members will present the problem and solution, as well as answer any questions from the judges about their proposal.
This hands-on event evaluates a team’s ability to thoroughly investigate a simulated accident. Each team acts independently to assess the situation, review witness statements, gather evidence and present their findings that aim at eliminating repeat accidents in the future. Three team members must participate in the investigation and presentation.
The culture of an organization governs the behaviors of that organization. In this event, three team members will be provided a scenario of a safety culture issue prior to the competition. They will prepare a boardroom style presentation to convince management to implement their plan to change the safety culture.
