Office Hazards

VR Training Now Available

Experience overview.

It’s imperative that businesses consider the safety and well-being of all employees, not just those operating in high-risk scenarios. Although office workers generally face lower daily risks than their on-site colleagues, they can and do face hazards that can cause serious injuries if not properly managed. Next World’s Office Hazards is an all-in-one safety training experience that will train and up-skill participants giving them knowledge to detect and prevent common office hazards. The experience drops users in an immersive office environment and walks them through interactive scenarios in which they access hazards and utilise the Hierarchy of Control and Risk Assessment Matrix to suggest control measures.
