The Opportunity

Imperial’s Kearl Oil Sands operation in Alberta, Canada, frequently undertakes maintenance and construction activities involving the use of cranes to lift large components. Following an incident caused by miscommunication between work crews during a lift, Imperial partnered with Dynacor to develop a comprehensive lifting and rigging training program aimed at preventing future occurrences.​

Challenges

The primary challenge was to create an engaging and effective training solution that would resonate with workers and address the specific hazards associated with lifting and rigging operations. The training needed to be immersive to ensure better retention and application of safety protocols.

The Solution

Dynacor employed a blend of instructional design strategies and multimedia tools to develop the training course:​

  • 360° Imagery: Allowed learners to explore lifting scenarios, identify crew members, and spot potential site hazards.​

  • 3D Animation: Recreated the incident using detailed 3D models and compelling narration to illustrate the consequences of miscommunication.​

  • Mentorship Videos: Featured experienced personnel explaining the critical nature of each team member’s responsibilities during lifting operations.​

  • Interactive Assessments: Included formative assessments and a final evaluation to reinforce learning outcomes.

The Result

The lifting and rigging training course has been instrumental in onboarding workers at the Kearl site, making them aware of potential hazards and the importance of clear communication during lifting operations. Since its implementation, over 4,500 workers have completed the training, contributing to a safer work environment.
