Orientation at a refinery is no small feat. From safety protocols to spatial awareness and equipment familiarity, there's a lot to cover—and fast. But what if you could deliver all of that in a highly immersive, scalable, and efficient way? 🎯
That’s exactly what 360° virtual tours are doing for refinery onboarding programs around the globe. Whether it’s training new hires, onboarding contractors, or refreshing seasoned workers, virtual tours powered by platforms like CloudPano are transforming how refineries train and operate. 💡
Refineries are complex, high-risk environments. Traditional onboarding methods—while informative—often fall short in preparing workers for real-world layouts and safety navigation.
