Simulators
This VR module trains workers to plan and carry out work at height safely. Trainees inspect harnesses, choose anchor points and see the consequences of shortcuts, while standing safely on the floor.
01 — Overview
Falls from height cause many serious workplace injuries in construction, maintenance and warehousing. Most falls follow a skipped check or a poor anchor choice.
Classroom training explains the rules, but workers rarely practise them at real height. Practising on a real roof edge carries the very risk the training aims to prevent.
A work at height simulator puts trainees on a roof, tower or platform, while they stand on solid ground. They feel the height and do every check themselves.
02 — What's included
Find damaged webbing, buckles and lanyards before use.
Choose anchors rated for the load, and avoid swing-fall hazards.
Check guardrails, opening covers and ladder set-up.
Understand why a rescue plan must exist before work starts.
03 — Key features
The module starts on the ground with a harness inspection. Trainees look for cut webbing, damaged stitching, worn buckles and an expired tag.
Planted faults test how closely they look. A trainee who misses a damaged lanyard sees why it matters later in the scenario.
Not every structure can hold a fall. Trainees choose between rated anchors, pipework, handrails and other tempting options.
The module also shows swing-fall risk, when an anchor sits too far to one side. Trainees learn to position the anchor above their work.
Trainees check guardrails, toe boards and covers over floor openings. They also set up a ladder at the right angle and secure it.
Each hazard they miss is shown in the debrief. The trainer then walks through the correct control for each one.
A worker hanging in a harness needs rescue quickly. The module explains why every job at height needs a rescue plan first.
Trainees identify who will perform the rescue and what equipment is needed. That habit carries into the real permit process.
Trainees often clip onto handrails or pipework, skip the harness inspection or set a ladder at the wrong angle. Some forget to cover a floor opening before moving materials.
The module records each mistake and shows its consequence in a controlled way. Trainees then repeat the task with the correct control.
Work at height training pairs naturally with the scaffold safety module. One covers personal fall protection, and the other covers the structure people stand on.
Maintenance crews often add the permit to work module as well. Most jobs at height on industrial sites need a permit before anyone climbs.
We build for standalone headsets such as Meta Quest 3, so no PC or cables are needed. Culenz can supply, set up and maintain the headset fleet for you.
Voice-over and on-screen text are produced in the languages your workforce uses, which we agree at scoping. Simple visual cues help workers who read little.
Every attempt is logged with the trainee's name, score, time and errors. Records export to your LMS through SCORM or xAPI, or as a spreadsheet for audits.
Many sites start the work at height module as a pilot with one department or shift. That shows how workers respond before a full rollout.
A pilot also tests practical details, such as where headsets are stored and who runs sessions. Those answers shape the wider rollout plan.
At the end, we review results with your EHS team and agree the next steps. Most sites then add more modules or more headsets.
04 — Our process
A typical work at height session takes ten to twenty minutes in a standalone VR headset. A short briefing comes first, then the virtual task, then a debrief with the trainer.
Sessions run in a training room, a site office or a corner of the shop floor. Each trainee needs only a clear area of about two by two metres.
Trainers can run several headsets at once and watch each trainee's view on a tablet. That keeps a group moving through the module in one shift.
We agree tasks, trainees, sites and success measures with your EHS or training leads.
Your experts approve every step, hazard and score before the build starts.
We build the module, test it on the headset and review it with your trainers.
One group or site trains first, and we review the results together.
Headsets, records and refresher content are rolled out across your sites, with maintenance.
05 — Planning your project
Pricing
Cost depends mainly on how much is custom. A library module with your branding costs less than one set in a full model of your site.
The number of scenarios, languages and headsets also matters. Annual support and content updates can be added as a separate maintenance plan.
We share an itemised quote after a short scoping call. Content, hardware and support are listed separately, so you see what each part costs.
06 — Why Culenz
Culenz is a virtual reality company with offices across India and Dubai. We build VR training for plants and sites in both markets.
One team scripts the work at height module with your EHS team, then builds, installs and supports it. You deal with one contact from the first demo to the last refresher.
07 — FAQs
Falls from height are among the most common causes of serious workplace injury. VR puts trainees on a virtual roof or tower, so they feel the height and practise every check. There is no fall risk at any point.
Some trainees feel nervous at first, which shows the module feels real. They stand on solid ground throughout and can remove the headset at any time. Trainers start with lower heights and build up gradually.
Yes. We model your roofs, towers, racks or platforms from photos and drawings. Trainees then practise on the structures they will actually climb, with your anchor points and access routes.
VR training supports your programme and provides detailed records. Certification rules vary by country and industry, and practical assessment on real equipment is usually required. Your EHS team decides how the module fits your training matrix.
