Offshore oil platforms are among the most complex, high-risk environments in the world. 🌊💥 From hazardous materials to extreme weather and remote operations, ensuring every team member is trained efficiently is a matter of safety—and survival.
Today, many oil and gas companies are discovering that Virtual Reality (VR) safety induction is more than a trend—it’s a proven tool that boosts efficiency, improves compliance, and protects workers. 👷♀️🕶️
Traditional safety induction methods often rely on:
These approaches consume time and resources—without guaranteeing that workers fully grasp critical safety protocols.
