VR Safety Masterclass: Working at Heights & Fall Arrest Training
Easysee’s comprehensive VR safety training series for MSHEQ concludes with a highly specialized module focused entirely on working at heights (werken op hoogte). This immersive simulation is designed to address critical workplace hazards and logistical challenges associated with high-altitude operations.
A major pain point identified by the client was high employee turnover; previously, new hires would often quit after just a few days on the job due to undiscovered acrophobia (fear of heights). By integrating an early VR acrophobia test, this application allows companies to safely screen and prepare workers before they ever step onto a physical construction site. This significantly reduces onboarding waste while ensuring absolute compliance and safety.
- Acrophobia Testing: A pre-screening simulation designed to identify users with a fear of heights, preventing costly employee turnover early in the recruitment and training phase.
- Harness Selection & Inspection: Trainees must actively select and meticulously inspect the correct safety harness—a crucial step before commencing any high-altitude work.
- Safe Climbing Simulation: Guides participants through the rigorous procedures of safely scaling a crane, heavily emphasizing the correct attachment and management of safety lifelines.
- High-Altitude Task Execution: At the top of the crane, players are required to complete a practical task (such as replacing a lightbulb) while strictly adhering to safety protocols in a simulated high-risk environment.
