Work at Heights Training: Conventional Approach With and Without Immersive Virtual Reality

"In addition to conventional training, IVR training aims to provide a detailed preview of the tasks and procedures required in the standard training with selected virtual scenarios:~Scenario 1: Inspection and Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):~In this scenario, the worker will inspect the equipment to ensure it is in good condition and properly used: Harness, Helmet, Lanyards, Carabiners, Lifelines, Energy Absorbers~Scenario 2: Working on an Elevated Metal Structure:~Structure Ascent: Ascent Method: Use specific ascent systems, ensuring you are always connected to an anchor point.~Positioning on the Structure: Secure Anchorage: Once the working position is reached, secure the anchor to a fixed and reliable point.~Structure Descent: Unanchoring and Reanchoring: Unanchor and re-anchor at secure points as you descend.~Additional Safety Measures: Weather Conditions, signage and delimitation:~Scenario 3: Rescue at Heights: Accessing the Person in Danger, rescue Techniques."

"The working at heights training provided by the National Learning Service (SENA) in Colombia includes key steps to ensure safety and proper equipment use:~* Harness Use: Inspect for damage, wear it like a vest, and ensure correct orientation. Adjust shoulder and leg straps for comfort and secure the chest strap.~* Final Check: Verify D-rings are correctly positioned, and all buckles are securely fastened.~* Helmet: Inspect for damage and adjust for a secure fit.~* Lanyards: Select in good condition, connect properly, keep tension, and avoid overloading.~* Carabiners: Use certified carabiners with functioning locks, connected to proper points.~* Lifelines and Energy Absorbers: Install and tension lifelines properly; check energy absorbers before use.~* Climbing/Descending: Maintain three contact points and secure tools to avoid accidents."
