The high risk work environments are mainly working at heights, Working in confined spaces and in electrical units. In such cases, it would be a wise move if companies go for a VR training in advance to detail the possible risks in work space using simulation and correspondingly make trainees practice precautions in that virtualized risk-free environment.
In a normal low-risk environment, trainees would find VR training very useful in terms of space orientation and operations of complex equipment.
VR training ensures more than 100% productivity.
It enables engagement throughout and companies that integrated VR training like BP, Porsche have recorded a 70 % increase in retention rate.
The damage causing anxiousness of the trainees while giving their first shot at machine operation in high-risk environment can be mitigated
A 50% reduction in machine damage and injuries have been recorded after implementing VR training.
Above all, the cost spent on manual training is cut down to 50% which will naturally increase the company’s ROI.

VR training is the best way to get started for both trainees and trainers to get productive.
