Practical skills need practice

On-the-job training is essential for employees who need to acquire practical skills related to their job. This includes machine operation, emergency procedures, ergonomics, and working in hazardous environments.

Such training should combine theory with practice, but conducting it in real-world conditions comes with organizational challenges and safety risks.

Real-world practice stops work and adds risk

Without VR

  • Employees leave their duties, which causes downtime.
  • Malfunctions, fires or accidents are hard or dangerous to stage for real.
  • Trainers repeat the same session for every group.
  • Few employees ever practice a crisis situation.
  • Specialized equipment limits who can take part.

With EHS VR

  • Train in a virtual setting without disrupting daily operations.
  • Repeat scenarios until the procedure is mastered.
  • No risk from practical exercises in real conditions.
  • Results are analyzed automatically, so progress is easy to assess.
  • Realistic conditions without expensive real-world simulations.

How to organize it

VR lets people practice procedures hands-on, in a realistic but safe environment. Here is what you need to run it in your organization.

  • Easy setup

    All you need is VR headsets and a subscription to our apps. Each package gives unlimited access to its training modules. The apps run on Meta Quest headsets; selected apps also run on Pico and HTC.

  • Hands-on learning

    Employees train in realistic scenarios with their own hands, no controllers needed. The apps work offline, except SAMPLE AI, which needs an internet connection for its AI-driven conversation.

  • Indoors or outdoors

    Each participant needs about 2 × 2 m of free space. Several trainees can share one headset by taking turns, while the others follow the session on a shared screen.

  • How many headsets you need

    We recommend one headset per 4–5 participants trained on the same day. If employees rotate over a longer period, 1–2 headsets are enough. Extra batteries and straps are available for longer sessions.

  • Trackable progress

    Follow each employee’s results and progress, and see where people need more practice.

  • Customizable and cost-effective

    VR reduces the need for external trainers, physical setups and complex logistics. Modules can be tailored to your industry and to specific safety and operational needs.
