OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Health and safety are top priorities for today’s businesses, and keeping workers up to speed on new or revised safety protocols as soon as possible is important. OneSpaceVR’s Training Applications immerse students in immersive environments, allowing them to experience and incorporate what they’ve learned. This gives us the most detailed and long-term preparation for health and safety issues.

The OHS is an industry-independent liability. The OHS training tools should ensure permanent learning. That criterion is critical to decreasing accident frequency. Virtual reality is the most common technology that provides more permanent learning.

SAFETY PROCEDURES

Companies are now adjusting to quickly changing workplace safety practices, implementing new processes and/or equipment means retraining associates at lightning speed. To keep themselves and their coworkers secure, employees must be constantly conscious of the work environment. Virtual Reality allows employees get a better understanding of the plant and its regulations, as well as necessary preparations such as personal protective equipment (PPE).

Additionally, VR Training Solutions can allow for the monitoring learners’ head motions during training, and may reveal whether or not they are searching at the same position.

EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

Since it provides a comfortable atmosphere in which to observe conditions without danger, virtual reality training is an ideal way to avoid injuries and apply skills. Furthermore, virtual reality assists workers in learning the proper next actions to take. This aids them in learning appropriate habits and putting them into practice in their employment. Virtual reality is the best solution for being mentally prepared and muscle memory.

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION

Hazards such as uncovered sharp objects, unstable cabinets, prohibited tools account for a large number of worker accidents in a workspace. Associates must keep a keen eye to be on the lookout for these dangers at all times. Learners in virtual reality training look around to find all problems in a scene freely. In other words, learners use their whole body to develop spatial awareness and visual object recognition abilities, all of which are essential in the workspaces.

LOCK-OUT & TAG-OUT

Another important protection protocol that industrial workers must master and practice on a daily basis is lockout/tagout. Companies don’t have to halt processes or wait for system repairs to prepare workers for a lockout/tagout scenario thanks to virtual reality. Employees use the headset to operate in a simulated workspace setting alongside a supervisor, where they would follow the steps for a correct lockout to recognise any inappropriate activities their colleague is engaging in throughout the process.

ONBOARDING

ONBOARDING

Onboarding processes cannot be considered independently of introductory training. The most obvious burden of these processes for companies is standardization -due to the human factor- and cost -due to the time of senior employees.

When onboarding becomes more remote, virtual reality (VR) has the potential to have a practical working environment before ever moving onto a new job site. Before ever setting foot on a new job site, candidates get hands-on experience in the role and work environment. They are immediately absorbed in the company’s culture and workflows, which aids in recruiting and retaining new talent.

VR is preferred in onboarding training because it has already literally lived.

A new employee must get up to speed as soon as possible in order to add to the company’s productivity. Workers receive hands-on experience and practical decision-making instruction through virtual reality training, which is extremely beneficial when onboarding skilled employees. Learners can play all of the colleague’s roles in the headset and develop their talents in a fraction of the time it takes for conventional teaching approaches.

CULTURE AND VALUES

Values-driven companies are constantly searching for new opportunities to reinforce their culture, which helps to create a positive employee and consumer experience. With VR preparation, new team members practice and apply business principles through onboarding. The experience brings learners around a simulated work environment, simulating regular experiences with team members and consumers while emphasizing each key value. Training times are greatly shortened by using VR.

CANDIDATE ASSESSMENT

It’s difficult to evaluate workers critically in the company-specific roles they’ll face in their next job. VR-based tests measure a candidate’s ability to delegate assignments, collaborate with coworkers in stressful situations, and exercise a range of leadership qualities during the recruiting or promotion process. 

From front-line associates and middle management to the executive level, VR-based tests measure aptitude for a particular role through recruiting or promotion. In VR, associates are placed in real-life scenarios that measure their awareness. Virtual reality tests can help paint a more realistic image of applicants, particularly for abilities that are historically difficult to test.

SAFE BEHAVIORS

Retailers continue to adjust to rapidly changing standards for workplace and customer safety. VR training is an excellent way to train associates on hygiene and sanitation practices because it offers a safe environment to experience situations without risk.

VR training helps workers build their knowledge of and comfort with the plant and its rules. In addition, VR helps employees learn the correct next steps to take, such as notifying a supervisor or engaging the coworker in a discussion. This helps employees learn the right behaviors as well as apply them in their roles.

ORIENTATION

Orientation may be considered as a loss of time by some employees because it interrupts their business plan. Actually, the necessities of the new job should be well understood so as not to decrease productivity. VR Training Solutions do not interrupt daily works while teaching requirements to the fresh person.
