Pioneering Approach to Safety Training using VR

VR TRAINING SERVICES

At PetroENG, safety has always been non-negotiable.

To strengthen this commitment, we have pioneered the use of Virtual Reality (VR) safety training within the South African petroleum sector – a first of its kind in our industry.

Why VR?

Traditional safety training can only go so far in preparing teams for real-world risks. VR allows employees to immerse themselves in lifelike, high-risk scenarios without the danger. This approach improves knowledge retention, builds confidence, and reduces incidents on site.

Core Modules

Our VR training curriculum simulates critical petroleum worksite environments, including:

  • Scaffold Access & Harness Tethering: correct PPE use and safe climbing practices.
  • Ladder Climb & Fall-Arrest Drills: safe navigation under risk conditions.
  • Catwalk Navigation: working at heights with exposure to spills, unsecured tools, and wind.
  • Rescue & Emergency Simulation: time-based responses to fall incidents.
  • Safety Audit Mode: identifying non-compliance and unsafe behaviours.
  • Team Collaboration: multi-user training that promotes communication and shared risk awareness.

Benefits for Clients

Independent studies and our own trials show that VR safety training:

  • Improves retention by up to 75% compared to classroom training.
  • Reduces incident rates by up to 45%.
  • Cuts onboarding time by 30–40%, ensuring faster project readiness.

Integration & Scalability

  • Hardware: Optimised for Meta Quest 2/3 headsets with desktop fallback.
  • Systems: Integrated with Learning Management Systems (LMS) for tracking performance and compliance.
  • Commercial Options: Available as per-user licensing, subscription packages, or turnkey deployments for major operators.
