This chapter explores the potential use of new information technologies in safety previews and in process control training. Virtual reality (VR) has been a promising technology for representing plant sites and technical equipment in ways that resemble reality as well as for training process control skills in a safe manner. The chapter examines the use of VR systems in industrial training as it offers a range of benefits compared to traditional training. It provides a design framework for developing and delivering VR training in a way that maximizes the use of risk assessment methods from other total safety management pillars. Immersive virtual reality allows users a stereoscopic view of the system as well as free movement and object manipulation in the visual system. The chapter presents a case study from a Slovenian major hazards site that has been used to design VR training for a loading scenario of a car tanker.
