The Challenge

Working at height presents some of the most severe safety risks in industrial operations. Inconsistent procedures, lack of hands-on experience, and ineffective refresher training contribute to avoidable accidents. The client needed a comprehensive solution that could simulate multiple high-risk contexts and deliver measurable safety improvements without disrupting live operations.

The Solution

Spatio developed an immersive Work at Height VR Safety Training Simulator that delivers experiential learning through four real-world scenarios: Boom Lift, Ladder, Hanging Stage, and Tower Crane. Each module is designed to sharpen hazard recognition, reinforce PPE usage, and test emergency response skills. The LMS integration ensures that training data is tracked in real time, enabling proactive intervention and standardization across roles.

Key Features & Training Flow

  1. Multi-Scenario Risk Exposure
    Workers train in realistic environments including elevated platforms, suspended stages, and cranes to understand risks from different angles.
  2. Fall Protection and PPE Compliance
    Every scenario includes checkpoints that assess correct use of harnesses, helmets, and safety lanyards.
  3. Emergency Response Readiness
    Simulated incidents such as slips and harness failure allow learners to practice reacting quickly and correctly under pressure.
  4. Performance Tracking with LMS
    The simulator connects with a web-based LMS that captures:
  • Completion status per scenario
  • PPE compliance rates
  • Response time to simulated fall events
  • Team-wide knowledge gaps and improvement metrics

How Spatio Delivered It

Spatio began with an on-site workflow analysis and risk mapping across different elevation-based tasks. These insights were translated into interactive VR simulations built in Unity3D. Designed to run on both Pico and Meta Quest devices, the simulator was deployed across departments with minimal onboarding time. The connected LMS provided safety managers with actionable insights for audits and retraining.

Technology Stack

  • Engine: Unity3D
  • Device Support: Pico and Meta Quest (fully device-agnostic)
  • Integration: SCORM-compliant LMS with multilingual support
  • Deployment Options: Offline, LAN-based, and cloud-enabled

Business Impact

  • Consistent Safety Protocol Adoption
    Teams across departments aligned to a unified safety standard for working at height.
  • Reduced Incident Risk
    Post-training evaluations showed stronger compliance with fall protection procedures.
  • Faster Emergency Decision-Making
    Trainees demonstrated quicker and more accurate responses to simulated hazards.
  • Better Compliance Visibility
    Safety officers gained access to clear, scenario-based performance data for audits.
  • Scalable Team-Wide Rollout
    Training was deployed across varied roles with zero disruption to ongoing operations.
