Virtual reality to ensure safety competence in offshore energy – News for the Energy Sector – Energy Voice

Virtual reality software is being used to ensure workers are competent beyond compliance in offshore energy.

Clyde Training Solutions is using the software to virtually immerse workers in critical and sometimes dangerous training scenarios.

It has been developed in partnership with Aurora Digital Solutions, another Northern Marine Group company, and comes following PWCs Seeing is Believing report which showed VR can translate to forming muscle memory and reduced learning times.

The company can create clients exact asset allowing for as close to real life training as possible to be completed either onshore or on the actual facility, which allows effective planning of an operation prior to undertaking it.

Head of training John Abate said: With our competency beyond compliance ethos, we want to ensure anyone who comes through our doors isnt just compliant with the standards expected of them by their industry, but also confident in the training they are receiving.

CTS has offices in Glasgow and northern England.
