Converting any incident to gamified situational awareness training.
We measure behavioural risk based on how a workforce reacts to real situations, and then compel people to improve on those reactions to reduce incidents.
An incident report shows the black and white of any situation. But by being put in that situation, we reveal the “grey” — our biases.
The World’s Only Experience Transfer Platform
OntheJob re-purposes any incident into scenario-based exercises that measures and develops Situational Awareness. We ensure hard-won lessons are learned by everyone.
Physical Safety
By putting people in real situations to face the unexpected they get the experiences they need to behave more safely, faster. How your workforce responds to real scenarios reveals what people aren’t prepared for, forget or ignore. OntheJob allows you to efficiently address workforce behavioral risk you didn’t know you had.
Psychological Safety
Violence and incivility are on the rise. Burnout is reaching alarming rates. Labour shortages make matters worse. Resilience and situational awareness have never been more critical. Navigating real experiences that cause injury is the practice of discovering thought patterns that lead to anxiety. OntheJob provides the hindsight we need.
High-Consequence Decision-Making
Nobody knows what people aren’t aware of, until something happens. We put people in real situations to see how they react and compel them to improve their reactions. A story of an experience is second only to having the experience, which is the power of OntheJob’s ability to have you “walking in someone else’s shoes”.

2024 Study Results
Filling Situational Awareness Gaps: A workforce that recognizes potentially dangerous patterns of behaviour and conditions is the key to reducing incidents. OntheJob transfers experience, corrects complacency and supercharges situational awareness.
Bolstering Learner Engagement: When people play scenarios of real experiences that led to an incident, they often play it until they get it right because they don’t want to think it could happen to them. This level of learner engagement is very rare with safety training.
Knowing What Your Workforce Doesn’t Know: Training doesn’t tell you what people aren’t prepared for, forgot or ignore. But OntheJob’s learner analytics identifies those gaps and quantifies risk to your operations.
Managing Shifting Demographics: Can you afford to have coveted experience leave your workforce? Conventional training alone doesn’t transfer operation insight. But OntheJob augments existing training by teaching what to do when rare and unexpected events occur.
- Identify competency-specific risk before an incident happens.
- Measure behavioural or technical competency gaps and alignment with expectations.
- Track individual and group progress and facilitate live scenarios exercises.
- Use our Start-a-Conversation feature to initiate one-on-one engagement that ensures the data is actionable.
- Our approach gives your workforce a voice that unlocks collective knowledge and increases cultural buy-in.
Onthejob Triggers Curiosity BY Sharing PROFOUND Organizational Experiences.
People don’t change without first having experiences that contradict their biases.
OntheJob’s founder, Peter Gammell, caused a serious incident while on the job. For Peter, this was a call to action to find a way of ensuring nobody else has to go through the same thing. OntheJob is the result of that dedication.
“I caused an explosion that put me in the hospital for three months. This was a classic case of complacency – I wasn’t paying attention, and then something unexpected happened that I wasn’t ready for. Although there were several factors that contributed to this accident, the primary factor was the absence of situational awareness. Despite that fact that situational awareness is the primary contributing factor of almost all incidents, it’s completely missing from training. I’m proud to say we’ve changed that.” — Peter Gammell, CEO & Founder, OntheJob Inc.
Experience Transfer
puts us in someone else’s shoes to experience a situation we’ve never considered. This gives us direct line-of-sight into our own biases — we “experience” the flaws in our thinking.
Flawed biases cause us to not recognize when complacency has lulled us into a state of unawareness. In that state, unexpected events surprise us, and surprise reduces our ability to make quick, potentially life-saving decisions — we literally don’t see it coming.
Stories of real experiences are the keys to shifting bias and piquing our hard-wired curiosity about why people do what they do. OntheJob’s purpose is to instigate deep reflection to trigger situational awareness.
