Why VR Working at Height Training Matters in Al Khobar

Much of the high-risk work in Al Khobar comes from energy headquarters in neighbouring Dhahran and engineering and service contractors, and working at height sits near the top of the HSE agenda there.

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

Add commercial and residential construction and the summer heat, and Al Khobar employers have few safe chances to rehearse working at height emergencies for real.

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