According to a 2024 Work to Zero survey, 80% of employers reported that lack of proper training was a “minor” to “major” concern in the workplace. Virtual reality (VR) can help address this gap by delivering immersive, hands-on training in a controlled, risk-free environment. VR safety training allows workers to practice essential skills, such as hazard recognition and response, in realistic scenarios without exposure to danger. Compared to traditional training methods, VR has been shown to sustain attention, increase learner engagement and improve knowledge retention over time, leading to stronger learning outcomes overall.
