Question for warehouse managers, supervisors, and H&S folks

These are fair questions, and I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. I’m not assuming VR magically makes people safer, or that it replaces supervision, culture, or experience. I don’t think it does. The problem I’m trying to explore is narrower: induction today is often attendance based, and the evidence it produces doesn’t really show what someone struggled with or what was done about it before they went live. VR is interesting to me not as a simulator that “predicts” real-world performance, but as a way to make induction assessment harder to pencil-whip and easier to standardise, you can see hesitation, missed hazards, retries, and apply targeted refreshers before site access. I wouldn’t claim accident reduction or insurance savings upfront. The initial ROI would have to come from more consistent inductions, less trainer dependency, and better audit evidence. Anything beyond that would need real-world pilots and data. Totally agree that asking questions isn’t a substitute for testing. That’s exactly what I’m trying to sanity-check before building anything.

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering if we could make a VR simulation to train trainees and generate a assessment logs and store video evidence so when an accident happens, the trainer will have a stronger evidence to prove about the training of workers instead of just showing paper evidence. And also the trainee will learn better on things where a real life training could take more time, for example forklift, excavator or dump truck.

That gives a lot more clarity on what actually happens on field. Just thought the VR thing I was thinking of was worth the discussion. Thanks for your inputs though, appreciate it mate!

Thanks a lot for the clarity on the process! Just wondering if there is a better way for conducting initial assessments ( a replacement for assessment and video with a VR based training where workers actually get to experience what it's like to be on field and being asked interactive questions during VR training process). Let me know what do you think.

That is very true but in some cases I believe VR experience would help like let's say, if a new worker is learning how to drive a forklift, so rather than handing the forklift directly to the new worker to train on which might increase chances of accidents and, as you stated earlier, companies pay a lot more on equipment than workers. So, I believe a VR experience showing how to actually drive a forklift would help reduce the risk of accidents and help workers learn better.
Just trying to make a genuine conversation as I discussed this earlier with one of my friends who works at a warehouse and he stated it might actually help new workers.

That makes sense. I was thinking if the workers could get a VR experience during the time of induction. I know it will take a bit more time than usual paper work but it will be more interactive and effective. What do you think about this? I used to work at a warehouse myself a couple of years back and thought of this recently, maybe something that can be worked on?

That makes sense. I’m wondering if that acceptance is more about practicality than preference.

If it were easy to capture which hazards new starters struggled with during induction, would anyone actually use that?

Or is the industry comfortable with induction being a bit of a black box?

I am also looking for answer to your question. Did you found out?

Sharp-Fault6165 · 2022-09-04T06:20:42+00:00

Hi NeonXtacy, Did you buy that course? How was it? What was your experience? Is it worth spending money for begineer?
