摘要

Effective training in chemical loading procedures is critical for ensuring safety and operational efficiency in high-risk environments. Traditional training methods often fall short of providing immersive, realistic practice opportunities. This study explores the use of virtual reality (VR) as an innovative training tool for chemical loading, aiming to investigate user feedback on the usefulness and effectiveness of the VR training application. A VR simulation was developed to replicate the chemical loading process from tanker to storage tanks. The case study focuses on a specific chemical loading operation within an industrial setting which includes normal operation and hazards simulation, toxic vapor, chemical spills, splashes, explosions, and fires. The methodology employed in this study involves the development of a VR environment tailored to replicate the complexities of the chemical loading process. Utilizing state-of-the-art software and hardware tools, the simulation accurately emulates the equipment, materials, and potential hazards encountered during chemical handling activities. Preliminary findings show that VR training is useful in enhancing safety awareness, with participants noting the realism and user-friendly interface of the VR simulation. Overall, the study underscores the potential of VR training with hazard simulation as a valuable tool for improving safety practices in chemical handling processes.
