VR Training Scenarios for UAE Construction and Industry
VR safety training scenarios for UAE sites in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, mapped to Dubai construction safety rules and the Abu Dhabi OSHAD framework.
The UAE has emirate-level safety systems. Dubai construction work follows the 2025 decree on construction safety and Dubai Municipality guidance, while Abu Dhabi uses the OSHAD framework. Each scenario names the source it relies on.
Pages are in English because that is the working language on most multinational sites. VR supports, and does not replace, the practical training those rules require.

How a Pilot Usually Starts
- Main contractors on large projects often run pilots across several subcontractors at once.
- Multilingual workforces mean the scenario may need audio or text in more than one language.
- Approvals often pass through the project HSE manager and the client representative.
Each scenario is built in Unity or Unreal Engine, depending on the visual fidelity the task needs and the headsets on site.
VR pilot readiness checklist
Before anything is built, check that the scenario, the measure and the site are ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can scenarios support a multilingual workforce?
Yes. Voice and text can be planned in the languages your crews use, agreed in the pilot scope.
Do Dubai and Abu Dhabi follow the same rules?
No. Each emirate has its own system, so each scenario cites the one that applies.
Are scenarios built in Unity or Unreal?
Each scenario is built in Unity or Unreal Engine, depending on the visual fidelity the task needs and the headsets on site.
Not sure which scenario to pilot first?
We review your procedure and tell you which part can be rehearsed in VR and which still needs hands-on practice.
