Train your team to spot hazards, think ahead, and prevent injuries before a small misstep becomes a major incident.
This immersive VR training course puts users in high-risk environments where slips, trips, and falls are waiting to happen—from bustling kitchens to busy construction zones. Trainees will gain the awareness and skills needed to reduce the most common causes of workplace injury across all industries.
Slips, trips, and falls are deceptively simple—and consistently among the leading causes of workplace injuries.
Participants move through interactive simulations where they must:
- Identify hazards across three varied environments, including office, warehouse and worksite.
- Assess risks using the Hierarchy of Controls and Risk Assessment Matrix.
- Learn the real-world consequences of falls, sprains, and avoidable injuries.
- Conduct a complete site safety inspection under exam conditions.
This scenario-based training builds lasting safety habits that reduce injury rates and improve daily risk perception across blue- and white-collar workforces alike.

Learning Outcomes







Identify common causes of slips, trips, and falls:
- Wet or uneven surfaces (e.g. puddles, cracked flooring, rugs)
- Poor lighting in stairwells or walkways
- Clutter or equipment in walkways
- Inappropriate footwear for the environment
- Damaged or unstable furniture (e.g. chairs)
- Distracted behavior (e.g. walking while on a phone)\
Understand how to eliminate or reduce these hazards:
- Placing anti-slip mats or floor grip
- Ensuring proper lighting and visibility
- Implementing good housekeeping practices
- Fixing or replacing damaged equipment
- Using the correct equipment (e.g. ladder vs. chair)
- Using signage and barriers to highlight active hazards
Apply the hierarchy of control:
- Engineering controls (e.g. drainage systems, safety mats)
- Administrative controls (e.g. signage, training)
- PPE (e.g. appropriate footwear, harnesses)
- Develop situational awareness, evaluating surroundings for hidden or commonly overlooked hazards in both low-risk and high-risk work environments.
A. Instructional Phase
- Investigate hazardous scenarios
- Submit photo evidence of hazards
- Learn why each scenario is dangerous
- Observe the safe alternative version of each scenario
B. Practice Phase
- Learners assess a warehouse environment:
- Determine which scenarios are hazardous versus safe
- Use the tablet to mark hazards or approve safe setups
- Receive immediate feedback on decisions
C. Exam Phase
- Identify and photograph hazards
- Answer follow-up questions on each scenario:
- What makes it hazardous?
- What level of risk it presents?
- What control methods should be used?
D. Results Phase
- Participants receive feedback
- Correct hazard identifications
- Missed or incorrectly assessed hazards
- Best practice answers based on the hierarchy of controls

CONTACT USWhat is Custom VR Builds?
It’s a service where Next World creates a fully tailored VR-training solution for your company — a custom course built to meet your industry-specific requirements rather than using a generic off-the-shelf VR module.
How does the custom-build process work?
The process typically follows these phases: you provide training documentation, subject-matter experts get involved, learning outcomes are identified, storyboard is created, virtual assets are modeled, testing and quality assurance, and finally deployment in your environment.
What type of training scenarios can be built?
You can build VR scenarios for hazard awareness, safe-practice with tools and equipment, practicing safety procedures step-by-step, and even testing learner’s knowledge in simulated hazardous situations — as if in real life but safe.
Is custom VR suitable for refresher training as well?
Yes — custom VR builds can be used for refresher/training-update courses to efficiently refresh skills and knowledge without re-arranging real equipment or putting people at risk.
What learning methodology does custom VR follow?
Next World suggests a blended approach: combining face-to-face, practical and immersive training methods, which helps improve retention, practical competence, and reduces incidents.
