At Kewaunee International Group, we believe in pushing the boundaries of training to ensure our teams are well-prepared for real-world scenarios. That’s why we recently had the privilege of conducting an exciting Virtual Reality (VR) training session with the Shokunin team. And let’s just say – magic happened when we combined VR with safety training!

A New Approach to Safety Training

Safety is always a top priority, and what better way to engage our team than by immersing them in realistic safety scenarios without any real-world risks? In this session, the team used VR headsets and natural hand movements to engage in hands-on fire safety and hazard prevention training. No controllers were needed – just a pair of VR headsets, and the team was ready to take on the challenge!

Highlights from the Session

The highlight of the training? Watching everyone’s competitive spirit shine as they raced to put out virtual fires. Whether it was identifying hazards or tackling a speed challenge to extinguish a fire, the energy in the room was electric.

Here’s what the team experienced during the session:

• Real-Time Fire Extinguisher Training: Participants learned how to handle fire extinguishers in a realistic VR environment.
• Interactive Hazard Identification: Team members practiced identifying potential hazards before they could escalate.
• Speed Challenge: Everyone wanted to beat the clock in a thrilling firefighting competition, which made the learning process even more engaging.
• Confidence in Action: By the end of the session, our team was ready to tackle real-world safety challenges with confidence.

The Power of VR in Safety Training

The VR training session allowed our team to experience and react to dangerous situations in a completely safe environment, helping them build confidence and essential skills. From spotting hazards to practicing fire safety protocols, this immersive experience proved to be a valuable learning tool.

The Competitive Spirit

It wasn’t just the training that made this experience special—it was the palpable excitement and competition that came with it. Watching the team race against the clock in the firefighting challenge was not only fun but also a great way to reinforce learning. The best part? The look of triumph when they successfully put out their first virtual fire.

Looking Ahead

This immersive training experience is just the beginning. We are excited to expand these VR training sessions and bring this innovative approach to more teams. When you combine virtual reality with hands-on learning, the results are truly magical. It’s the future of safety training, and we’re ready for it!

Special shoutout to the Shokunin team for bringing amazing energy to the session – your enthusiasm made all the difference! We can’t wait for the next one.

Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and create training experiences that empower our teams to handle real-world challenges with confidence.
