Description:

Safety shouldn’t start and stop with a checklist. In the construction industry, the real challenge is delivering training that sticks, especially with high turnover, tight schedules, and teams that don’t sit behind desks.

Join 360Immersive and OpenSesame for a practical session on how immersive and scalable training solutions can help build a stronger safety culture from the ground up. Whether you’re onboarding new crew members or working to reduce incidents across job sites, you’ll learn how VR and mobile-first training can make a real impact in the field. We’ll also touch on the importance of fostering a culture of psychological safety and how this critical component plays a role in overall workforce wellbeing.

You’ll learn: 

• How to deliver engaging safety training without pulling crews off the job
• Why immersive learning boosts retention and reduces risk
• What a modern, scalable training program looks like in the field
