Why VR Working at Height Training Matters in Sohar

Much of the high-risk work in Sohar comes from a port and free zone with heavy industry and refining and metals plants, and working at height sits near the top of the HSE agenda there.

For working at height in Sohar, the hazards that matter most are falls from scaffolds, ladders and open edges and dropped objects striking people below.

Add logistics yards with heavy lifting and the summer heat, and Sohar employers have few safe chances to rehearse working at height emergencies for real.

A VR working at height scenario gives crews in Sohar that rehearsal indoors, with every choice recorded.

How We Ranked Them

The order reflects how well each company could deliver working at height training that matches real work in Sohar, not how big the company is.

Custom builds, clear working at height records and client ownership scored higher than generic modules for Sohar buyers.

1. The Prime VR

Custom VR scenarios · Best for: Site-specific working at height · Standalone headsets, owned

The Prime VR ranks first in Sohar because it starts from your own working at height procedure rather than a generic library module.

Its working at height scenarios are built in Unity or Unreal Engine and run on standalone headsets that Sohar sites can move between locations.

For Sohar audits, each working at height session produces a record of every decision a learner made, exported per person.

Sohar employers own the finished working at height scenario, scripts can be planned in English and Arabic, and the first mockup arrives within 48 hours of scoping.

Close the exclusion zone below
Inspect the harness
Choose a rated anchor point
