Energy
This training provides a realistic and interactive experience to teach employees how to work safely in a typical energy industry environment.
Using virtual reality, workers can experience risky situations and learn how to handle them properly to prevent injuries and accidents.
VR safety training for energy
Within an energy environment, there is always one great danger; the energy itself.
High voltage, switching stations, large high-pressure installations, radioactivity, … are all particularly dangerous and also often odorless, inaudible and invisible.
The expectations, especially in terms of safety, are extremely high for those working in this industry. In realistic scenarios, you will learn during a VR safety training to (re)recognize risks faster and thus prevent site accidents.

The effectiveness of
Virtual Reality training
The effectiveness of any safety training depends greatly on the quality and mix of learning methodologies.
According to PWC research, there are four critical elements to successful safety training:
-
Recognizability:
Curriculum and examples should be recognizable to participants -
Repetition:
Information should be repeated at regular intervals -
Context:
Scenarios must be placed in context -
Feedback:
Correct feedback should be given
All of these factors come together in VR safety training.
The study also compares VR training with traditional classroom instruction and e-learning, and reveals four key conclusions for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of safety training:
-
Emotional engagement:
VR training increases participants' emotional engagement -
Self-confidence:
Participants feel more confident in applying what they have learned -
Focus:
Participants' focus is significantly higher -
Time efficiency:
Required training time is shorter

Our training offer
We strongly believe in “blended” learning, combining various learning methodologies to teach participants not only knowledge, but also real skills.
Developing real competencies only begins when you are able to actually apply the knowledge you have gained in practice. That’s where our VR training comes in: these are ideal for turning theory into practice and are often an integral part of our training courses.
