Transformative safety onboarding: integrating digital transformation into new hire safety training at Home Depot, using augmented reality and Image Tracking

In this project, I focus on improving a safety onboarding process in Home Depot, by using two technologies: Image Tracking and Augment Reality. During the project I identified different areas of opportunities with the actual onboarding process a proposed a new solution with AR to create a more interactive and engaging experience. The actual onboarding process for Safety at Home Depot, consist in a program called “Safety Passport” in which associates use a paper-based document (with images and text) that explain the main safety topics that are going to prevent some of the most common types of accidents. The areas of opportunities are the lack data tracking, the lack of engaging elements and the limited learning approaches. At the end, the creation of the minimum viable product called “Smart Safety Passport” was receive as a positive experience and underscores the potential of AR as an immersive and effective learning tool.
