Low-Voltage Electrical Safety

Low-Voltage Electrical Safety Training in AR

Electrical shock, electrocution, fire, explosions... Workplace accidents due to electrical hazards are more often fatal than others; they are also responsible for a higher number of serious cases leading to permanent disability. Many of these accidents occur on installations that have been left energized or are not completely locked out. In most cases, serious consequences and tragedy can be avoided with better preparation of equipment and analysis of the environment.

Faced with such danger, theoretical training is not enough. Only repeated practice can create automatic habits that are imprinted in the trainee's spatial and muscle memory. The employer must ensure that this repeated practice is done in complete safety. This is where Augmented Reality comes into play.

6 Training Scenarios with 2 difficulty levels

This mobile AR simulator is the 3D digital and interactive twin of Habilis, an electrical cabinet used for low-voltage electrical certification. The extremely realistic rendering and safety procedures implemented during the exercises are all based on input from electrical safety experts.

Trainees are able to move freely around and inside this fully functional cabinet in the safety of their own home or office. They use the camera on their phone to carry out different missions relating to the operation or maintenance of the equipment. Each time, they must scrupulously follow safety procedures: choosing and inspecting PPE, analyzing risks and environment, using correct warning signs and labels, performing isolation and LOTO, grounding, checking the absence of voltage.

Each mission has 2 levels of difficulty. In level 1, trainees are alerted in real time when they make a mistake. In level 2, they are not informed of their mistakes, which allows them to experience different accidents in conditions close to real life. Distracted trainees will be safely confronted with the consequences of their inattention: An electric shock, arc flash, or wasp attack from a swarm nesting in the cabinet.

  • Scenario 1 - 2 difficulty levels: Replacing a defective thermal relay
  • Scenario 2 - 2 difficulty levels: Preparing the equipment before replacing mixer blades
  • Scenario 3 - 2 difficulty levels: Retightening the busbar terminals (performed on energized equipment)
