Training employees after a long leave
Speakers:

ATR was looking for an innovative way to provide their safety regulatory training. Indeed, after a certain period of absence, employees must undergo training in order to return to their jobs. They need to review essential practices such as chemical hazards, working at heights, explosive atmospheres, electrical hazards and many others.
The aim of this VR module is to introduce all the areas of risk. They managed to divide the training time by 3, and use the VR modality in order to give an immersive and playful dimension, that allows a better understanding of the risks.
Testimony
1/3 of the training time (from 1 hour 30 to 30 minutes)
Ten minutes of training and explanation before and ten minutes after the VR session
completes the immersive module while ensuring that key concepts are understood.
Immersion as a Driver of Understanding and Action
Immersive Dimension
‘We prioritize headsets, because it’s much more immersive and convenient for everyone.’
A better understanding of risks
Immersion allows you to live the experience, to be confronted with situations in the field and this allows a much higher retention.
Practical complementarity
The VR training considerably reduces the training time and makes it easier to take over the job by having the trainee practice beforehand.
Q&A session
How many people were involved in creating this experience? Do we have any idea how many cumulative hours it took?
“Two people at Uptale and two people at ATR. It took a few days for everything: one day for the shooting and three days for the editing, two days of back and forth to take into account the feedback from ATR.”
— Pierre Ewerhard, Uptale
