SAVE Description

In partnership with OMV, Austria's national oil and gas entity, SAVE offers a virtual simulation of a refinery setting designed for training purposes. This innovative program allows refinery trainees to learn the correct and safe operation of equipment before they are granted access to real-world refinery operations. Using a VR headset, participants can immerse themselves in the environment, navigating and manipulating advanced machinery, climbing ladders, and monitoring gauges. An experienced trainer oversees their development, providing direction, feedback, and addressing any errors during the training process. The time required for trainees to independently handle significant machinery and operations can be shortened by as much as a year. Additionally, trainees can practice repeatedly at their own pace until they meet the necessary competency levels, all while ensuring the safety of the plant. This method of training plays a crucial role in maintaining safety standards for all new hires who are unfamiliar with working in such facilities. Ultimately, SAVE not only enhances learning but also fosters a culture of safety and preparedness in the oil and gas industry.
