VR Training Cuts Accidents and Turnover

New technologies like virtual reality and machine-integrated systems are transforming safety training across industries. Companies are adopting VR to simulate real-world tasks, accelerating onboarding and reducing injury risk without disrupting operations. At Raymond Corporation, VR has helped train workers more effectively as job demands and workforce demographics shift. Tools like object detection and tethering systems now reinforce training in real-time, ensuring safety compliance through automated feedback.

Organizations are also using training data to spot trends and improve both layout and instruction. Roundtable Learning helped a major retailer reduce forklift incidents by training employees in VR before operating real machinery.

Companies have seen measurable results: an aerospace manufacturer eliminated costly CNC accidents, and a Fortune 500 firm cut turnover by 70% and saved thousands of management hours by shifting onboarding to VR. These technologies are proving that immersive, data-driven training can deliver safer, more efficient workplaces.
