Lockout Tagout Training VR Simulation

SHIIFT recognized the need for a more effective and immersive training solution to address the challenges of energy isolation. To this end, we developed a Virtual Reality (VR) training program specifically focused on the lockout tagout process. The VR training allows users to engage in a fully immersive environment where they can practice isolating energy sources step by step, just as they would in a real-world situation, without facing the high risk of a real-world accident.

The LOTOTO training program was designed to replicate a variety of industrial environments, each with unique energy isolation challenges. Users are guided through the correct procedures, with immediate feedback provided for each action. The interactive nature of the training means that users learn by doing, which has been proven to enhance learning retention and understanding of processes.

The lockout/tagout training program includes a testing module where users are evaluated on their ability to correctly perform all 8 steps of the standard LOTO procedure without any guidance from the instructions from the start of the course. This testing ensures that trainees can demonstrate competency in energy isolation, helping companies ensure that their employees are fully prepared to handle these critical tasks safely. The implementation of the SHIIFT Lockout-Tagout-Tryout VR training program has led to significant improvements in training outcomes.

By using this training, companies can expect higher levels of confidence among their employees performing lockout tagout, a reduction in training time, and a decrease in safety incidents related to energy isolation.

By providing a realistic and engaging training environment, our training sets a new standard in industrial safety training for hazardous scenarios. Using virtual reality for high risk environments is one of the most beneficial use-cases of training in VR. We created two versions of Lockout Tagout training for two companies, using 3D models that are more suited to each company depending on the machinery used.

These virtual training courses are based on the most standard procedure for Lockout Tagout Training for a water pump, but there is room for more training modules to be developed for more complex Lockout Tagout processes in different situations. This customizability allows us to create future  modules tailored to companies by request after quoting for the custom development.
