On an offshore oil rig, safety isn't optional—it's survival.
Traditionally, onboarding new personnel involved long classroom sessions, stacks of manuals, and costly travel for on-site training. But today, oil and gas companies are transforming the process with virtual tour safety inductions powered by immersive 360° technology. 🥽📍
From reduced risk to better retention, these virtual tours are delivering real results—and making oil rigs safer, faster.
Let’s explore how virtual tour safety inductions are reshaping offshore workforce training.
A virtual tour safety induction is a fully interactive 360° walkthrough of an oil rig, designed to train personnel remotely and prepare them for site-specific hazards.
Delivered through web browsers or VR headsets, these tours simulate:
This is next-level onboarding. Start here:
