AR Safety Training: Lockout Tagout for an Oil Company

Augmented Reality experience of operations safety training in a warehouse setting

The Challenge

Enhancing Employee Safety

An oil company sought to enhance safety protocols by reducing workplace injuries and environmental accidents related to the Lockout, Tagout (LOTO) process. With safety being a critical priority, the company needed to provide employees with advanced and effective safety training on the proper procedures for locking out and tagging out machinery to prevent hazardous energy releases. The company was interested in an AR safety training learning experience. 

The Solution

To address the client’s need for advanced safety training, we created a user-friendly Augmented Reality (AR) product visualization and validation tool specifically designed to enhance the Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) process. This immersive, AR safety training solution ensured that employees followed safety procedures precisely, reducing risks of injury and environmental accidents. The AR tool streamlined the training process while providing comprehensive documentation for management and legal compliance.

Key features of the AR safety training solution:

AR Product Visualization

Create a user-friendly AR tool that visually guides employees through the Lockout-Tagout process, offering clear, step-by-step instructions for each task.

Step-by-Step Training Module

Design a structured, immersive training experience that walks operators through each stage of the process, eliminating guesswork and ensuring procedures are followed correctly.

Real-Time Process Validation:

Integrate a validation feature that checks each step of the LOTO process as it’s completed, providing feedback to operators and ensuring safety compliance in real time.

Easy-to-Use Interface:

Develop a simple and intuitive interface that requires minimal training, allowing employees to quickly engage with the tool and complete safety tasks efficiently.

Digital Documentation and Compliance Tracking:

Incorporate a feature that automatically records each completed procedure, creating a digital paper trail for management, legal teams, and regulatory compliance purposes.

 

The Results

With the planned implementation of the AR product visualization and validation tool, we anticipate significant improvements in safety compliance, operational efficiency, and legal documentation. By guiding operators step-by-step through the Lockout-Tagout process, employees should experience greater confidence in performing tasks correctly, leading to fewer errors, enhanced safety, and a more compliant workplace.

By eliminating guesswork and providing precise, real-time validation, the solution is expected to significantly reduce safety incidents and injuries related to the Lockout-Tagout process.

With the streamlined, step-by-step training and validation process, employees should complete safety tasks faster, leading to improved workflow and reduced downtime while maintaining high safety standards.

The digital paper trail created by the validation tool will allow for easy documentation of compliance, providing the company with a robust defense in case of legal or regulatory scrutiny.

With clear guidance through complex procedures, employees are expected to feel more confident in their roles, leading to a more engaged and empowered workforce.
