Safety first!
VR Safety Training, Koole Terminals
Safety comes first at Koole Terminals. They were looking for a creative solution to involve employees in identifying and reporting safety issues. Traditional training methods have their limitations and they wanted a way to facilitate a truly immersive experience.
We have developed a custom VR training app that immerses participants in a virtual environment, where they are challenged to identify and report safety issues. It’s not just about understanding the concepts, but experiencing them in a safe, controlled and realistic setting. This VR training app for Oculus Quest is designed to improve security awareness and reporting within the company.
The results exceed expectations! Koole Terminals’ participating teams not only learn about safety, but actively participate in the process. Their performance is tracked and a friendly competition has developed between teams. This has promoted an open dialogue about workplace safety, making it a collective responsibility.
What makes this project extra relevant is that our VR training app is built on a modular framework. This means the same innovative approach can be applied to other companies and sectors, making improved safety training accessible to a wider audience.
We believe immersive VR training is the future of workplace safety, and our partnership with Koole Terminals is just the beginning. We look forward to transforming safety training for organizations around the world.
