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. In order 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 an SDS when working around high risk substances. Trainees are presented with a number of different scenarios in which they must identify the necessary information, using the appropriate sections of an SDS.
Our VR Learning Experiences are built from the ground up to offer the most immersive training environment possible. Because of this deep user immersion, VR training has been proven to result in much higher retention rate – up to 80% one year after training, compared to just 20% from traditional training methods.
Each of our Learning Experiences has a unique gamification system in place, allowing us to engage the user in the training requirements. We use a combination of points and quizzes to test and understand any shortfalls in the users’ knowledge. This method of gamification learning achieves on average assessment scores of 93%.
In addition to providing an immersive and engaging environment, our VR Learning Experiences offer the safest way to train employees in high danger scenarios. You will never need to worry about any injuries to new or under skilled employees during the training process.
