Upon entering the VR simulation, the user appears in the middle of a bustling warehouse, surrounded by workers, objects, and operational equipment. The environment is designed to be interactive, allowing users to roam freely around, inspect different areas, and identify various hazards. 

• Training Modes: The program incorporates several distinct training modes. The Learning mode provides a fully visible checklist of potential hazards and is designed to familiarize trainees with possible dangers and safe practices. The Exam mode focuses on reinforcing skills learned in the Learning mode. Here the hazards are randomly generated to mimic real-world unpredictability.
• Hazard Identification and Mitigation: Users are required to find hazards around different workplaces within the warehouse. Hazards can range from an unattended, started forklift to cylinders stored with incompatible chemicals or puddles of hazardous substances. Trainees must not only identify these hazards but also propose solutions to fix them.
• AI Integration: Non-playable characters (NPCs) navigate through the environment, interact with users, and react to the actions performed. These NPCs simulate fellow workers and are part of the potential hazards; users need to ensure that NPCs are following safety protocols, including wearing the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• Randomized Interaction Points: Warehouses include dozens of spawn points where hazards may randomly appear. Each training session is unique, ensuring that users must consistently apply their critical thinking and hazard mitigation skills.
• Multiplayer Functionality: The simulation allows multiple trainees to participate simultaneously. This facilitates team-based learning and enhances the realism of the training scenarios.

By offering a realistic and immersive environment, this VR training program prepares personnel in the oil and gas industry to effectively identify and mitigate hazards in warehouse settings. Optimized for Pico 3, Focus 3, and Quest 1 & 2 headsets, it provides a versatile and impactful training solution for enhancing workplace safety.
