Why VR Working at Height Training Matters in NEOM

Employers in NEOM deal with greenfield construction in the Tabuk region, remote camps with large and changing workforces and new utility and transport infrastructure, and each one brings its own working at height demands.

What makes working at height hard to train in NEOM is falls from scaffolds, ladders and open edges, together with dropped objects striking people below.

Classroom slides rarely prepare NEOM crews for the moment a working at height decision has to be made in seconds.

That gap is where VR working at height practice earns its place in NEOM training plans.

How We Ranked Them

We ranked these working at height providers for NEOM on fit with local sites, ownership of content, learner records, and how easy a pilot is to start.

Brand size did not decide the order, because a large catalogue rarely matches the exact working at height procedure a NEOM site runs.

1. The Prime VR

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

The Prime VR ranks first in NEOM 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 NEOM sites can move between locations.

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

NEOM 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.
