| Abstract: | This study examines the effectiveness of game-based learning in enhancing hazard identification skills. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of participants' hazard identification performance and eye-tracking data with qualitative insights from participant feedback. In a simulated study, participants were asked to identify hazards following the game-based training intervention. The Hazard Identification Index (HII) scores increased significantly (p < 0.0001) in the post-training trials, indicating enhanced hazard recognition abilities. The analysis of eye-tracking data revealed changes in participants' attention allocation patterns in the post-training trials. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of minimizing task interruptions during hazard identification activities, as interruptions negatively impacted participants' performance. The findings of this study have significant implications for training programs focused on workplace safety. Integrating game-based learning in safety training programs can help employers enhance hazard identification skills among their employees, ultimately contributing to safer work environments and reducing incidents of accidents and injuries.
