Implenia relies on VR technology for accident prevention

The launch of the new ‘Swiss Safety VR’ apps from Suva and Swiss partner organisations is a significant step forward in the prevention of accidents at work in the construction industry. Virtual reality technology allows employees to experience realistic accident scenarios and learn how to prevent accidents. Implenia contributed its expertise to the development of the app and is already using it successfully for safety training.

The working environment on construction sites is complex and constantly changing – a challenge when it comes to safety. Accident prevention is therefore particularly important, and innovative solutions are needed. This is exactly where the Swiss Safety VR project comes in, which was developed in collaboration between the Swiss accident insurance company Suva and the technology company BearingPoint. As a consulting partner, Implenia helped tailor the solution to the needs and requirements of the construction site environment.

‘Swiss Safety VR provides us with a new tool that is more than just theoretical training,’ explains Rolf Riser, Global Safety Specialist at Implenia. ‘Virtual reality technology allows us to show our employees in a completely new way how accidents happen and how they can be actively prevented – a direct, tangible experience that has a lasting effect.’
