Project Overview
An Immersive Training Solution for New Construction Electricians
High Retention Rate
People retain as much as 20 percent more information when they learned in VR compared to textbook-based lessons.
Hands-on Learning
Experience hazards in a simulated environment so that you're ready for the real hazards on the job.
Safer Workers
The safest worker is the one who remembers their training. Learning in VR gives you a better chance of remembering critical information when you need it most.
Slips, Trips & Falls
Slips, trips & falls are among the most common incidents on the job site. Learn how to stay safe by avoiding these hazards.
Struck by, caught between
Learn how to spot the dangers to avoid getting struck by falling objects or moving machinery.
Explosions & Asphyxiation
Working with electricity comes with significant risk of explosion. Learn how to spot dangerous situations before its too late, and learn how to respond in case something happens.
Ergonomics
Ergonomics may not be the first thing to come to mind when you consider workplace hazards. However, improper use of tools can lead to long-term injuries that prevent you from continuing work. Learn safe equipment handling procedures as well as how to sit and stand to prevent back injuries.
Electrocution
Electricians must exercise extreme caution because their job poses serious risk of electrocution. Learn what to avoid to limit your chances of electrocution and learn what to do if you or a colleague touch a live wire.
Free for IBEW Members
The National Electrical Trade Council (NETCO) is the Canadian distributor for the IBEW VR Safety modules. The software is available for free to all members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
"aware of the dangers without being in harms way"
“The challenge in our pre-apprenticeship program is that while we are tasked with preparing trainees for work, we cannot just bring them to a real job site. With IBEW Virtual Reality (VR) Safety, trainees put on VR headsets and become aware of the dangers without being in harm’s way.”

Executive Director of the National Electrical Trade Council
