VR Safe

Developed by a team of two for a client, VR Safe is an online multiplayer VR training simulation that evaluates the participants' hazard awareness, adherence to safety protocols, and responses to dynamic site conditions using eye tracking. The tool has multiplayer features that allows up to 3 participants who must work collaboratively to identify hazards, conduct safety inspections, and respond appropriately to changing conditions while executing the task.

It simulates a busy construction site, where a critical concrete repair task must be conducted at a height of 15 meters. The repair is necessary to fix damaged or deteriorated concrete on a structural column, which is crucial for ensuring long-term structural integrity and safety. The task requires the safe use of a Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP) and strict compliance with Work at Height safety regulations.

Three key roles are involved in the VR training scenario: The Supervisor, responsible for site inspection, hazard identification, and task briefing. The MEWP Operator, ensuring MEWP pre-use checks, stability, and safe manoeuvring. And the Concrete Repair Technician, focusing on work-at-height safety, PPE compliance, tool security, and hazard mitigation while performing the repair.
