GWPro vs Firsthand XR
The short verdict
GWPro offers a wide catalogue of health and safety VR trainings, built to OSHA and NEBOSH standards, with support for 30+ languages and WebGL access. For broad safety induction across many topics and languages, it is a strong choice.
Firsthand XR goes deeper on fewer emergencies. Pick it when the training has a casualty in it: a live patient engine, CPR and AED use, electrical rescue, confined space response and team roles, scored and debriefed.
