Stack
An immersive VR Lockout/Tagout safety training platform for Meta Quest. Workers practice machine shutdown, hazardous energy isolation, lock-and-tag application, and maintenance safety workflows in realistic industrial environments — voice-guided, hands-on, infinitely repeatable. Built for manufacturing, oil & gas, and enterprise EHS teams that need scalable OSHA-aligned safety training.
Why industrial operators adopt it
| Pain point | What it delivers | |---|---| | LOTO incidents drive serious workplace injuries | Risk-free rehearsal of the full Lockout/Tagout procedure | | Classroom-only training doesn't transfer to the floor | Hands-on machine, valve, and lock interactions in VR | | Real equipment can't be locked out for training | Unlimited shutdowns and restarts inside the simulation | | Multi-site rollouts are expensive and inconsistent | Headset-based standardized training across every site | | Compliance audits demand documented competency | Step-by-step procedure tracking and training records | | Apprentices need practice before going live | Safe, repeatable workflows before they touch real machinery |
What trainees can practice
- Area safety clearance before any maintenance work begins
- PPE preparation — safety vest, tool belt, lockout devices, tags
- Machine shutdown procedures through realistic switch and panel interactions
- Valve isolation workflows for hazardous energy sources
- Lockout device application on energy isolation points
- Warning tag placement with proper sequence and verification
- Hazardous energy verification — confirming the zero-energy state
- Maintenance readiness checks before any work proceeds
- Safe restart procedures at the end of the maintenance window
How it's built
Unity 6 on Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3, with a modular industrial training framework. Machinery state, energy isolation points, and procedure checkpoints run on a clean event model so new scenarios — new equipment, new facility layouts, new compliance frameworks — are content work, not engineering work. The pick-up / operate / lock / verify interaction pattern is reused across every module. Runs fully offline on the headset, deployable in plants, warehouses, and remote sites with no IT dependency.
A real-time audio guidance system mirrors how senior safety officers coach apprentices ("Clear the maintenance area" · "Equip required PPE" · "Lock the primary valve" · "Verify hazardous energy isolation"), paired with world-space VR UI for objectives, checklists, and step-by-step prompts.
Why enterprise EHS teams care
LOTO incidents are among the most preventable — and most cited — workplace injury categories. Traditional training is manual, paper-based, and inconsistent across shifts and sites. VR turns LOTO from a classroom topic into muscle memory:
- One headset per worker scales across plants, contractors, and apprentices
- Identical training for every shift, every site, every region — auditable and repeatable
- Lower cost per session than blocking real equipment for training
- Faster apprentice ramp-up with safe rehearsal before live exposure
- Documented competency for compliance and audit trails
Bring it to your operation
I work directly with manufacturers, oil & gas operators, industrial maintenance teams, and enterprise EHS organizations to deploy, customize, and extend the platform:
- Pilot program — Meta Quest deployment, site-specific procedure mapping, supervisor onboarding
- Custom scenarios — your plant layouts, your machinery, your facility-specific LOTO protocols
- Compliance alignment — mapped to OSHA 1910.147 or regional equivalent frameworks
- White-label licensing — your branding, your content, our industrial XR engine
- Enterprise co-development — multi-site rollouts, integration with EHS systems and LMS platforms
Roadmap — what's coming next
- Multiplayer industrial training — multi-worker scenarios with supervisor presence
- Instructor monitoring dashboard — observe, intervene, review session performance
- Worker performance analytics — measurable competency tracking per trainee
- Certification tracking for compliance and audit reporting
- Hand tracking support — controller-free natural tool interactions
- Scenario editor — EHS teams author site-specific scenarios without code
- Hazard randomization — varied scenarios for repeat trainees
- Advanced industrial machinery simulations — domain-specific equipment libraries
- Voice recognition for spoken procedure callouts
FAQ — Does it work on Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3?
Yes. Optimized for both headsets with adaptive rendering to maintain stable framerate. Quest 3 is recommended for higher visual fidelity in industrial environments.
FAQ — Can we add our own machinery, plant layouts, or LOTO procedures?
Yes. A scenario editor is on the active roadmap, and custom site-specific content is available today through co-development engagements. We can build your facility layouts, your equipment, and your exact LOTO procedure into the simulation.
FAQ — Is the training aligned to OSHA 1910.147?
Yes. The platform is designed around the standard Lockout/Tagout procedural framework that maps to OSHA 1910.147 in the US and equivalent regional standards elsewhere. Procedure sequences, verification steps, and competency tracking are built around recognized LOTO compliance requirements.
FAQ — Can the platform be white-labelled?
Yes. White-label licensing covers your company branding, your facility content, your procedure library, and your compliance framework — all running on the LOTO XR Training engine.
FAQ — Does it require an internet connection?
No. The platform runs fully offline on the Meta Quest headset — no cloud streaming, no per-session licensing servers. Deployable on plant floors, refineries, warehouses, and remote sites with no IT dependency.
FAQ — Can it integrate with our LMS or EHS system?
Yes — through enterprise co-development. Session results, completion records, and competency data can be exported into LMS platforms, EHS reporting systems, or audit pipelines.
FAQ — Who is LOTO XR Training for?
Manufacturers, oil & gas operators, factory and warehouse operations, industrial maintenance teams, enterprise EHS organizations, and safety training institutes. Also suited to industrial ed-tech partners looking to white-label a proven LOTO VR training platform.
