Hazardous Substances
The handling of hazardous substances is a necessary part of many occupations. Different types of hazardous substances require different levels of protection and identification, but all must be handled, transported, and disposed safely to prevent harm to workers and the environment. To achieve this, workers need to know how to navigate and utilise the appropriate safety data sheets (SDS). Next World’s VR Hazardous Substances training course teaches employees the importance of following these SDSs when working around high-risk substances. Trainees are presented with several different scenarios in which they must identify the necessary information, using the appropriate sections of an SDS.
Learning Outcomes
The central focus of this course is to teach employees how to safety work around and handle hazardous substances.

- Recognise the potential health risks and appropriate first-aid measures for different types of exposure to hazardous substances.
- Demonstrate knowledge of proper handling, storage, and disposal procedures for hazardous substances based on information provided in the SDS.

Why Choose Immersive Learning?
Our VR training courses are built from the ground up to offer the most immersive training experience possible. Because of this deep user immersion, VR training has been proven to result in much higher retention rates – up to 80% one year after training, compared to just 20% from traditional training methods.
Immersive learning helps build confidence in trainees abilities and prepares them for real-world situations by allowing them to practice and test their skills in challenging scenarios. A recent PwC study found VR training increased the confidence of participants by 275%.
In addition to providing an immersive and engaging training environment, VR allows trainees to experience the consequences of poor safety while they train and practice their skills in high danger scenarios without any of the normal risks or costs.
