HSE Managers
Help new starters recognise hazards before exposure.
Let teams rehearse site rules, hazard recognition and response choices in a supervised virtual setting.

WHERE IT CAN HELP
Practise hazard recognition and response
A policy can be read without being understood. Scenario practice lets the learner notice a risk, choose a response and receive correction away from active equipment.
Hazard recognition
Place realistic but approved hazards into a scenario for learners to identify.
Emergency decisions
Rehearse when to alert, withdraw or escalate during a simulated event.
Run a site induction hazard exercise
Choose a work area and a few hazards approved by your HSE team. Ask new starters to identify each hazard and select the correct response or escalation route.
The module covers safe positioning, practice around a simulated load, and an assessment. See Caterpillar’s suspended-load training.
What to measure in the pilot
Compare hazards missed, correct escalation decisions, and repeat attempts. Use the supervised practical check to see whether learners apply the same judgement outside VR.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Who approves the hazards and correct responses?
Your HSE lead or subject expert approves the scenario against current site rules and signs off on the feedback before rollout.
Can the module replace a required induction or drill?
Use it to prepare learners and identify gaps. Keep the induction, drills, supervision, and practical checks your site requires.
How should we report pilot results?
Report which hazards learners missed and whether they chose the correct response. Incident counts need longer observation and context before attributing any change to training.
