Turn the wheel anticlockwise. Keys: right or up opens, left or down closes.

A safety training simulation lets a trainee practise a risky task on a 3D copy of the real equipment, refuses every unsafe move with the reason, and ends with a record a supervisor can trust.

I’m Mo Tawfik Khalifa. I build these for the browser first, so they run on the phones and laptops people already carry, and in a VR headset when a task needs one. Try the module: three tasks, about three minutes, and a signed sample credential on your phone at the end.

Before you buy training

Worried people will click through it and learn nothing?

Trainers report workers feel they have “been there, done that”, and “repetitive training can gloss over relevant information when the same presentations are used year after year.”
J. J. Keller survey of people who run safety training
The module is built on your own equipment and your own site’s hazards, with the mistakes your people really make. Nobody can click through it: every unsafe move is refused with the reason, and the score counts each one.
57% name conflicting schedules as a top problem with safety training, and 42% feel they do not have time for it.
The same J. J. Keller survey
One task per module, on the phone people already carry, with no headset and no room to book. The sample module on this page takes about three minutes.
“It is a new and more attractive way of training people in safety, and a lot more interactive than showing standard training videos.”
Christian Sauvage, EHS Manager, Constellium Neuf-Brisach, on VR training
You get the same hands-on practice in a web browser. Trainees work the controls themselves instead of watching a video. A headset is an option for the tasks that need one, not a requirement.
Can I show an auditor who passed?
Each pass ends in a signed credential a supervisor can scan, and the score, refused moves and time go to your learning system through SCORM or xAPI, or to a plain dashboard.

What you get

The code, the 3D models, the repo and the accounts are yours from day one.
A fixed price in writing after the first call, before any work starts.
The module on a live link you can click every week while I build it.
You talk to me, the person who builds it, not a salesperson.
A written handover, so you are not dependent on me.

Flagship · try it

Train, pass, prove it

Work the equipment with your mouse, finger or keyboard. Unsafe moves are refused with the reason, the way a good supervisor would stop you. Pass, and your browser signs a credential you can scan with your phone.

Sample procedures, simplified for a demo: not a substitute for your site’s procedures or a recognised qualification. The credential is a sample from a sample academy, signed in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere. The 3D equipment is my own Blender work.

What we build

Training modules for the work that hurts when it goes wrong

One model of your equipment and one written procedure become a module people can take anywhere. Each wrong move is refused with the reason, in plain words.

01
Equipment training software
Valves, pumps, panels and skids built from your CAD, so a new starter learns the controls, the order and the feel before the real thing.
02
Safety training simulations
Start-up sequences, isolation and permit steps, earthing and loading: the procedures where the order matters and the reason sticks once you have been stopped for it.
03
VR safety training
The same module in a headset through WebXR for tasks where scale and hands matter, such as working at height or in a confined space. Phones and laptops stay the default.
04
Digital training certificates
A signed credential on the trainee’s phone. A supervisor scans it and sees the signature, the issuer, the expiry and whether you revoked it. No phone calls, no paper.
05
Results where you need them
Scores, refused moves and times sent to your learning system through SCORM or xAPI, or to a plain dashboard your supervisors read.

How a project runs

From one procedure to a credential your supervisors trust

Pick one task
The procedure behind incidents, near misses or slow sign-off. One task done well beats a catalogue.
Get the equipment
CAD, STEP or BIM files if you have them. Photos and drawings if you do not; I model in Blender.
Write the wrong moves
With your expert: every step, the mistakes people really make, and the reason for each refusal in plain words.
Build and test on site
On the phones, tablets and headsets your people use, with trainees who did not write it.
Issue and connect
You become the issuer. Credentials go to phones, results go to your learning system or a dashboard.

Proof

Built from work you can open

The equipment in the module is 3D I modelled and rendered for an industrial equipment distributor’s website, reskinned here. The credential uses the same signing approach as the wallet in my verifiable credentials guide. I have shipped VR before: I built the engineering team behind the Sky Sports VR player, and was technical director for ten virtual reality clubs in Unreal Engine at Sensorium.

Training hours back a year

1,200

About 150 working days, at 8 hours a day.

Speed. PwC’s VR training study found that people trained in VR finished 4 times faster than in a classroom, and that VR reached cost parity with classroom at 375 learners. It measured soft skills training for new managers between February 2019 and January 2020, not equipment tasks, so treat 4 times as an upper bound.

Incident cost. The US National Safety Council puts the cost of a medically consulted work injury at $48,000 in 2024. That is the cost to society (wages, medical and administrative costs), not the bill one employer pays.

Hours back = trainees × hours × (1 − 1 ÷ speed-up). This is a sketch for a first conversation, not a forecast.

What to bring

What to bring to the first call

The task. One procedure, and why it matters now: an incident, an audit, a new site or slow sign-off.
The equipment. CAD, STEP or BIM files, or photos and drawings.
The procedure as written, and the mistakes people actually make.
An expert who can review the steps and the refusal reasons twice.
Where results go. Your learning system, HR system or a spreadsheet.
Who issues. Who signs credentials, how long they last, and who can revoke them.
The devices. What trainees use on site: phones, tablets, laptops or headsets.

FAQ

Questions people ask about training simulations

What is VR safety training?

VR safety training lets a person practise a dangerous task on a 3D copy of the real equipment, where a mistake costs nothing. The simulation refuses unsafe moves, explains why, and records what the trainee did, so you know who is ready before they touch the real plant.

Do trainees need a VR headset?

No. I build the module for the browser first, so it runs on the phones, tablets and laptops people already carry. The same module can open in a VR headset through WebXR when a task needs the full scale and hands, such as working at height.

What is the difference between an operator training simulator and an industrial training simulation?

An operator training simulator usually means a full process model of a plant that control room operators run like the real control system. An industrial training simulation can be smaller: one task on one piece of equipment, done by hand in the field. I build the task level trainers, and they can sit in front of a process model if you already have one.

What does an interactive training module record?

Every step, every refused move and its reason, the time taken and the number of attempts. Results can go to your learning management system through SCORM or xAPI, or to a simple dashboard for supervisors.

How does a digital training certificate work, and how does a supervisor check it?

The certificate is a verifiable credential: the training record signed by whoever issued it. The trainee keeps it on their phone. A supervisor scans its QR code and their screen checks four things: the signature, that the issuer is trusted, that it has not expired, and that the issuer has not revoked it. The W3C made the format a Recommendation in May 2025.

Is the credential in this demo a real certification?

No. It is a sample signed by a sample academy so you can see the checks work. In a real deployment your organisation is the issuer and holds the signing key. A training credential records that someone passed your module; it does not replace a recognised qualification, and no certification body endorses this demo.

Can it use our own equipment?

Yes. I work from CAD or BIM files when you have them and model from photos and drawings in Blender when you do not. The valve, flare and loading arm in this demo come from equipment I modelled and rendered for an industrial equipment distributor.

How much does a training simulation cost?

I price each module after a first call. The price depends on how many tasks it covers, whether models of the equipment already exist, and where results and credentials need to go.

Have a task people keep getting wrong?

Tell me the task and the equipment. If you already have CAD files or a written procedure, say so; it shortens everything.
