Here is how ISOVER Saint-gobain readies plant personnel with virtual reality safety training. The challenge isover faced was one that many manufacturing companies can relate to how to conduct safety training for employees while keeping production running smoothly. Training workers in a live production facility poses both health and safety hazards. That's why creating safe learning conditions, especially when it comes to training new and inexperienced personnel, is an urgent priority that ISOVER takes seriously. In the past, isover was reliant on the planned downtime of its machinery for safe hands on training, while training new personnel is partly achieved in a classroom setting. Reading from a slide deck and standing in a real factory are still worlds apart. This is why they needed a smarter way to safely bridge the gap between theory and practice while considering the different solutions available to combat this challenge. Virtual technical training stood out as a perfect way to teach employees in a hands on capacity while simultaneously ensuring a safe learning environment. With the help of SynergyXR all isover had to do was tailor the steps from their real life procedures to a digital format. This allowed trainees to step into a 1 to 1 virtual replica of their production facility and perform the reality training exactly as they would in person without the risk of injury or need for machine downtime. VR makes the training less time restricted. It helps personnel connect the dots with hands on procedures, and it drastically reduces workplace injuries. By training the lockout tagout procedure in VR, workers are able to filter out the world and focus on learning the procedure without ISOVER having to stop production for it.
