Working At Heights

Working at heights comes with inherent risks, no matter the industry or specific job. It is important for all individuals who work at heights, whether it’s on a construction site, a rooftop, or a scaffold, to be aware of potential hazards and how to respond in case of an emergency. Unfortunately, due to inadequate training and knowledge, an estimated 2.78 million fatalities (approximately 10% of workplace deaths) occur each year from working at heights incidents. Next World’s VR Working at Heights training focuses on ensuring a comprehensive understanding of both practical and theoretical foundations. Trainees will be dropped into an immersive job site and asked to conduct an in-depth hazard detection and mitigating module. They will access the risks stemming from these hazards and provide answers on how to implement correct control measures.
