The Challenge
Musculoskeletal injuries caused by improper manual handling are a major contributor to downtime, compensation claims, and workforce fatigue. For a labor-intensive shipyard, relying on outdated poster-based training was no longer effective. The company needed an immersive, measurable solution that could transform worker behavior and improve safety outcomes at scale.
Spatio built a Manual Handling VR Safety Simulator, empowering shipyard workers to master safe lifting and reduce injuries.
Spatio, in collaboration with the client developed a Manual Handling VR Safety Training Simulator designed to teach correct posture, lifting techniques, and weight assessment through immersive 3D scenarios.
Workers experience both safe and risky techniques, with real-time feedback reinforcing proper behavior. The training supports multiple languages and integrates seamlessly with the client’s LMS to ensure compliance and track workforce progress.
Key Features & Training Flow
2nd Person Perspective
Trainees observe another worker’s mistakes in real time, learning to recognize errors before practicing the correct techniques themselves.
Trainees Decide
Learners actively choose the right option to fix observed mistakes, building confidence in decision-making during risky scenarios.
Posture & Technique Training
Immersive exercises guide trainees through correct lifting, carrying, and placing of objects, reducing strain and preventing injuries.
Risk Simulation
Incorrect movements trigger warnings and consequence-based outcomes, teaching safe handling through real-world cause-and-effect learning.
Multilingual Experience
Localized captions and voiceovers support multiple languages, ensuring diverse teams understand and apply safety practices correctly.
LMS-Driven Analytics
A connected LMS tracks posture accuracy, completion time, progress, and ROI, giving managers measurable visibility into outcomes.
