Hazard Ready: industrial safety simulation released for free

Hazard Ready has been released for free on Steam, including native Linux support.

The game is a first-person industrial safety simulation where you carry out work orders at sites like a pump house, refinery or turbine hall with your own hands.

It features seven fictional locations, ten work orders and 91 field tasks with 200 fully voiced passages.

Walk a working industrial site. Read the actual paperwork. Do the work with your own hands. Hazard Ready is a first-person industrial safety campaign. Seven fictional locations — from a pump house and a fire-services riser room to an elevator service center, a refinery yard and a nuclear turbine hall — carry ten work orders and 91 field tasks. A shift coordinator, Dana, and the site crew guide you over radio and in person with 200 fully voiced passages (captions stay on when voice is muted).

Hands-on isolation and repair. Close and cage handwheels, hang your own padlock and tag, open bleeds and watch gauges fall to zero, press START on a locked-out supply, exchange a failed receiver, fit a spare cartridge, seat a test lead, pin a sheave restraint and hold a brake release — all with animated hands and equipment that physically moves.

Real paperwork, real decisions. Read work orders, trend records and housekeeping evidence, then decide on holds and handovers. Three missions draw one of three fault variants each shift, so the justification for a hold is not the same every time.

Fire, elevator, stored energy, access control. Operate a fictional fire alarm control panel through a coordinated sprinkler waterflow test, isolate a passenger lift’s stored energy, run an owner’s isolated access-test console, and witness a channel test in a turbine hall.

Consequences that teach. Unsafe operations can injure or kill characters. A 12-second non-graphic incident replay explains the cause and the response; retry restores a safe checkpoint and keeps your evidence.

Coworkers who behave like a crew. They watch you approach, follow the current objective, stand clear when asked, and answer their radios.

Windows, Linux and macOS (Universal). Keyboard and mouse. Saves and settings stay on your machine; no account or connection is required.
