VR safety training with scored competency assessment and a dated digital certificate, deployable on standalone headsets across every site, in Hindi and English.
The OSHA lockout/tagout standard, 29 CFR 1910.147, requires employers to establish an energy-control programme so that machines are isolated and rendered inoperative before servicing or maintenance, preventing unexpected start-up or the release of stored energy. It mandates written energy-control procedures, employee training by role (authorized, affected and other employees), and periodic inspection of those procedures at least annually. “Authorized” employees, the people who apply the locks, need the deepest training. EDIIIE’s Lockout/Tagout module trains the full sequence in VR: identify every energy source (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal and gravitational), shut down, isolate, apply the lockout device and personal tag, verify zero energy, and reverse the sequence to re-energise safely. Group lockout and shift-handover scenarios are included. Each attempt is scored against 1910.147 and issues an authorized-employee certificate with a dated record.
This module is designed around OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 and delivered as an immersive VR simulation with three progressive modes, Learn, Practice and Assessment, with progression gated on competency. Every trainee finishes with a scored result and a dated digital certificate recorded in the LMS.
Screens from the Lockout / Tagout module. Every scenario is rebuilt from real plant conditions so the hazard, the equipment and the procedure match what the worker meets on shift.
Lockout/tagout is a sequence, not a fact. Workers do not fail LOTO because they do not know it exists, they fail because a step is skipped under time pressure, a secondary energy source is missed, or the verification test is treated as a formality. Those are exactly the failures a scored VR simulation catches. In VR the trainee walks a real machine, must find every isolation point (including the hydraulic accumulator that still holds pressure after shutdown), and cannot proceed until zero energy is verified. Skip a step and the simulation shows the consequence safely. Because the assessment records which step failed, a plant can see whether its workforce’s weakness is stored-energy release or group-lock discipline, and target refresher training accordingly.
Most sites have far more affected employees than authorized ones, and the two groups need different depth. EDIIIE’s module runs both from one deployment: a short awareness path for affected and other employees, and the full apply-the-lock path with scored assessment for authorized employees. The digital certificate distinguishes the two, so an auditor can see at a glance who is certified to apply locks. At SAIL Bhilai, electrical lockout was one of the six modules rolled out to more than 5,000 workers across shifts, the kind of scale that manual, trainer-led LOTO certification cannot reach without pulling production staff off the floor for weeks.
Naming the standard is what separates a vendor page from a blog post, for a buyer and for an answer engine alike. Each element of the module is mapped to the requirement it satisfies.
| Standard | What it requires |
|---|---|
| OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 | The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout), energy-control programme, procedures, training and periodic inspection. |
| IS / IE Rules | Indian electrical isolation and permit-to-work practice for electrical energy sources. |
| ISO 45001 | Occupational health & safety management system, documented safe systems of work. |
One module, three gated modes, the trainee cannot reach assessment until they have demonstrated the procedure in practice.
A guided walkthrough of the procedure and the standard behind it, at the trainee's own pace, with the hazard shown safely at full realism.
The trainee performs the procedure themselves in an interactive scenario, repeating until the sequence is correct. Wrong choices show their consequence safely.
A scored assessment against the standard. On a pass, the LMS issues a dated digital certificate and logs completion, competency score and error-per-step for audit.
At SAIL Bhilai, one of India’s largest integrated steel plants, EDIIIE deployed a six-module VR safety programme to more than 5,000 workers, covering blast furnace, coke oven, rolling mill, fire response, electrical lockout and PPE. The programme standardised safety induction across shifts and sites without taking a single worker into a live hazard area to train.
The same module ships to every site on a fleet of Meta Quest headsets with a charging station and a companion tablet for the instructor.
A rack of headsets lives at the plant. Trainees pick one up, complete the module and hand it back; scores sync to the LMS when the headset reaches Wi-Fi. No dedicated PC per seat and no simulator room to build.
Assessment mode records decision time, procedural errors and safety violations per step. The safety officer sees competency progression per trainee and per department, and the LMS issues a dated digital certificate on a pass.
Every module is built and tested for standalone Quest hardware. Headsets and the charging station can be supplied with the programme, or the module is deployed onto a fleet you already own.
