Safety in the workplace is a major concern for industrial employers. Proper training, instructions, and routines are crucial for a hazard-free working environment. This thesis focuses on daily checks, a routine where operators inspect their vehicles to ensure that the machine is in good condition.The initial focus of the project was to explore solutions that could be used to educate new operators. After the research phase, involving experts in the area, the focus shifted towards a solution that would increase the ability and motivation for both new and experienced operators to perform the routine. A literature study, competitor analysis, field study, and interviews were conducted to gain further insight into the matter, and in an attempt to achieve the new objective, the area of persuasive technology and persuasive design, along with provided design guidelines, an application was created that would facilitate the execution of the daily check. These resulting prototypes were then evaluated and taken through usability testing. An evaluation of the theoretical framework is also presented. The results show that persuasive technology is a suitable approach to achieve the goal. While the prototype fulfils most of the goals and requirements, at least on a theoretical level, further development and testing should be done to attain a more quantifiable result.
