VR Training
Stanwell Energy: Hazard ID
Stanwell Corporation approached us with a clear goal: explore the potential of virtual reality for workplace training, starting with a pilot program focused on hazard identification.
The brief was to create four interactive VR scenarios—each set in a different environment and designed to highlight a range of hazards, from physical dangers to psychosocial risks.
Working closely with Stanwell’s Health, Safety and Environment team, we took their comprehensive list of potential hazards and shaped them into immersive, story-driven experiences. Each scenario placed the user in a believable ‘Living a Day in the Life of…’ context where hazards had to be recognised and navigated in real-time, encouraging awareness and critical thinking.
Although the project was defined as a pilot and scoped around delivering a minimum viable product, we saw an opportunity to build something more robust. The final result was a fully realised VR training application complete with built-in user appraisal, clear learning outcomes, and performance feedback.
The feedback from Stanwell was overwhelmingly positive—both on the quality of the experience and the unexpected level of staff engagement. To round out the solution, we also supplied the VR hardware and implemented a Mobile Device Management (MDM) platform to allow for remote content updates and ongoing user support.
This project is a great example of how even a pilot deployment, when approached creatively, can set the benchmark for future training initiatives.
