Once you have selected and inspected your harness, lanyard, and connection device, you then 'push' your worker off the building to see if he will be saved by the safety equipment, or fall straight to the ground. If a player achieves a safety score of 95% or greater, they will earn a certificate of achievement that recognizes their safety performance in the game.
