This slip simulator makes you feel super goofy, but it's really effective in increasing delivery driver safety. 🚚 📦 In fact, it reduces delivery driver slips and falls by 30%, and drivers consistently rank it as one of the most fun parts of their safety training. It's a kinetic learning module, AKA learn by doing, for drivers to learn how to safely walk on slippery surfaces. Our teams are rolling it out to delivery stations across North America ahead of Peak. What do you think? ⬇

Jediné, co mělo statisticky prokázanou účinnost na slips bylo zhubnout. Tohle by bylo druhé, ale neviděl jsem věrohodná data.

As a former Delivery Associate for Amazon in the Twin Cities Metro of Minnesota, this simulator seems little more than a PR stunt -- particularly as it relates to winter time. Useful -- certainly possible if one did not grow up in freezing temperatures with ice and snow (and even then it is a crapshoot whether or not one might find themselves falling onto pavement), but in practice I feel that this is a way of minimizing the fact that the company willfully puts its drivers into harm's way each and every day, especially when icy conditions are prevalent. Metrics must be followed above all else in this position, especially the preferences of the customer being delivered to. Countless times each week drivers expected to perform deliveries in less than safe circumstances (especially when customers expect deliveries to be made to the rear of their houses, yet do not care to salt or shovel their walkways). Better personal protective equipment should be provided to drivers to combat slipping and prevent falls. Numerous products are available to consumers on the market. Why not provide these to drivers instead of allocating funds to a simulator which cannot adequately prepare someone for real world situations? Food for thought.
