<br />Safety Training - Virtual Reality. <br /> <br />(In virtual reality, safety training truly comes alive. Occuoational Hazards Journal stated "high- <br />fidelity VR simulations for occupational health and safety applications have the potential to <br />revolutionize the way computers are used in the profession. " Most corporations still rely on the <br />difficult to read Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to comply with federally required safety <br />training. The complicated writing style, organization, tiny print, and few illustrations ofien leave <br />workers confused and bored. <br /> <br />In virtual reality, clients experience first-hand the inherent dangers of their working environment <br />and how to react to them. They are able see the potential consequences of poor planning, failing to <br />follow proper procedures, or rushing a process. Trainees are taken through their workplace <br />hazards where they see holes in the fiooring and shaky ladders, and hear the construction sounds of <br />the manufacturingfioor in three-dimensional sound. A simple fire drill takes on a new, added sense <br />of importance as employees evacuate the virtual plant in a variety of situations. Additionally, <br />trainees can even experience such sensations as falling, injury by machine, chemical exposure, and <br />even death. The shock value in such a safety program will make the lesson a memorable one. <br /> <br />Virtual reality allows trainees "hands on" experience in a safe and controlled environment. <br />Employees are able to explore the outcomes of their decisions without risk to themselves or <br />equipment. They are able to visualize what can't be visualized: degrees of risk, temperature, air <br />quality, chemical exposure levels- and see their effects. Virtual reality-based safety training is also <br />very cost effective. It is delivered in the actual classroom on the same PC's already installed. <br />Clients are able to train over and over during down time, as standardization and repeatability are <br />important in achieving consistently high results. Because virtual reality safety tutorials are <br />designed modularly, modifications are easily made as workplace situations change.) <br /> <br />Unit):: <br />0>_...".....~,~ <br /> <br />Resume writing skills. <br />Interview skills. <br />Internship at a local Manufacturing Factory (Paid by the W o.R.K.
