Asanexample,imagineyoureina virtualtrainingsessionandyouhaveto identifytherisksandhazardsduringthe application. There is a fire extinguisher on the floor; however, you fail to notice it. Fire extinguishers are typically mounted on a wall, and by failing to notice it on the floor, it is now a physical hazard since it is an object in a walkway. Rehearsing this scenario using virtual training allows an individual to safelyhigh performing teams. Through this project,pinpointsareasthatrequiremoretraining make mistakes.

BiometricsThelatestandoneofthemostexciting aspects of modern day training is the use of biometrics to track a workers attention and acute stress factors. Companies such as EXO Insightshavecollaboratedwithresearchers from the University of Waterloo to utilize eye tracking technology to indicate areas of focus during training simulations. For instance, if a worker is not paying attention to the right objects or missed a few key items, biometric datawilldemonstratethetrailsofeye movements, ultimately revealing any errors made during the virtualized training.EXOInsightshasbeenworkingclosely withXLabs,aninnovativedivisionat OntarioPowerGeneration(OPG)inthe Canadiannuclearsector,toproducehigh-end engineering designs to revolutionize the way this industry trains its people and builds Ontario Electrical Contractor13'
