AvailableSwitchroom
Electrical low-voltage rescue and CPR
A worker is in contact with live equipment in a switchroom. Isolate the supply, free the casualty safely, start CPR and use the AED.
VR safety training for the jobs you cannot rehearse on site
Practise the high-risk tasks that are hard to set up for real: entering a confined space, rescuing a worker from live equipment, choosing the right extinguisher. Then do it again until it sticks.
Who this is for: Mines Rescue organisations, mining company trainers, HSE managers and industrial RTOs.
What gets in the way today
- Real environments are hard to access
- Getting into a mine or plant for training needs consent, scheduling and shutdowns.
- The real thing is dangerous
- You cannot set a switchroom live or fill a tank with bad air to train people.
- Limited variety
- Training sites offer a handful of set-ups. Workers see the same scenario every year.
- Passive VR did not land
- Earlier 360 and theatre-style systems let people watch, not act. Trainees noticed.
How mining and industrial safety teams use it
- Confined space
- Permit, atmosphere testing, standby and rescue set-up in a room-scale tank space.
- Electrical low-voltage rescue and CPR
- Isolate, free the casualty with the right gear, start CPR and use the AED.
- Fire and evacuation
- Office fire evacuation with extinguisher choice, alarms and warden duties.
- Physically active
- Room-scale 6DoF means trainees walk, crouch and reach. With or without controllers.
Scenarios for mining and industrial safety
Full library
AvailableOffice floorOffice fire evacuation
A fire starts on an office floor. Raise the alarm, choose and use the right extinguisher or get out, and sweep the floor as warden.
AvailableWorkplaceWorkplace collapse with AED
A colleague collapses at work. Check for danger and response, call triple zero, start CPR and fetch and use the AED.
AvailableIndustrial plantConfined space
Entry into a tank. Check the permit, test the atmosphere, set up the standby and rescue gear, and respond when something goes wrong.
- ComingWorksite
Workplace hazard spotting
Walk a site and find the hazards before they hurt someone. Rate the risk and choose the control.
- ComingStore room and aged care
Manual handling
Loads and people: plan the lift, use the trolley, slide sheets and hoist, and lift as a team. Practised with your body in the room rather than on a slide.
- ComingMine site
Mines first aid and rescue
Casualty care and rescue in a mine environment, built with the needs of rescue brigades in mind.
How it maps to your training
Scenarios support practice towards common high-risk work and emergency response training.
| Unit or program | Where it shows up |
|---|---|
| RIIWHS202 Enter and work in confined spaces | Confined space scenario: permit, testing, standby and rescue response. |
| Low voltage rescue and CPR (LVR) | Electrical low-voltage rescue and CPR in a switchroom. |
| PUAFER005 and PUAFER006 (emergency control organisation) | Office fire evacuation for wardens and chief wardens. |
| Mines first aid and rescue | Coming. Shaped by what rescue brigades told researchers they need from VR. |
Confirm mapping and assessment requirements with your RTO or site training team.
A fire extinguisher training simulator that also teaches when not to fight
Our office fire scenario puts water, foam, CO2 and dry chemical extinguishers on the wall. Learners have to read the situation and pick the right one, or decide it is time to raise the alarm and get out.
Because it is a simulation, the fire can grow if they get it wrong. No powder, no clean-up, no wasted extinguishers.

Reading for mining and industrial safety teams
- What Mines Rescue Brigades Said They Need From VR
Research with NSW mine rescue brigades found clear training needs and clear limits of 360 VR. What they asked for, and what it means for VR safety training.
- 360 Video Training vs Interactive Simulation
360 video lets trainees look. Interactive simulation lets them act. A practical guide to choosing, with findings from mine rescue VR research.

Questions people ask
Do you have mine rescue scenarios?
Mines first aid and rescue is in the pipeline. Confined space and electrical rescue are available now.
Can trainees work as a team?
Yes. Headsets on the same network can join one scenario with roles.
Does it work with controllers or hands?
Both. Hand tracking feels natural for most tasks. Controllers are there when you want them.
