Programme Overview

ProVR HIRA at a Glance

An 85-minute learning journey combining immersive 360° VR training with pre- and post-assessment — helping learners identify hazards, map consequences, assess risk and select appropriate controls in realistic workplace scenarios.

85 minutes

360° VR Training and Assessment

Learn the foundations of HIRA through immersive videos and assessments.

Integrated Analytics

Gives safety teams visibility into learner performance through analytics.

— The HIRA Gap

Your safety systems may be in place. But how consistently is HIRA being applied?

Different people see different risks — illustrated workplace scenario

Different people see different risks

Workers and supervisors may interpret the same workplace situation differently.

Risk judgement can vary — illustrated workplace scenario

Risk judgement can vary

Likelihood, severity and exposure are not always assessed consistently.

Knowing HIRA ≠ applying HIRA — illustrated workplace scenario

Knowing HIRA ≠ applying HIRA

The real test is whether people can recognise hazards and make sound decisions at the point of work.

ProVR HIRA creates a shared baseline for practical HIRA decision-making — and helps safety teams see where capability gaps exist.

Who It Is For

— What is ProVR HIRA?

From HIRA concepts to workplace judgement.

Learners move through scenarios, identify hazards, understand potential consequences, estimate risk and select appropriate controls.

They then return to the workplace scene through an interactive VR assessment and apply what they have learned.

ProVR HIRA is available in Hindi and English.

HIRA Assessments

What does the assessment actually test?

It doesn't just test what learners remember. It tests how they apply HIRA inside a realistic 360° workplace scene.

— ANALYTICS

Turn Assessments into Actionable Safety Insights

HIRA Analytics transforms learner responses into practical insights that reveal how effectively workers recognise, evaluate, and respond to workplace risks.

  • Track five core capabilities: hazard spotting, consequence mapping, risk assessment, control selection, and Go/No-Go decision-making.

  • View individual worker scorecards and measure pre- and post-training improvement.

  • Identify weak hazard categories through clear performance heatmaps.

  • Prioritise targeted refreshers, toolbox talks, and coaching.

Frequently Asked Questions

ProVR HIRA is a 360° VR training and assessment program designed to strengthen practical HIRA understanding and decision-making across workers, supervisors and teams.

The complete experience is 85 minutes, combining 360° VR training and interactive assessment.

Workers, supervisors and line leaders, with EHS and safety teams using the resulting performance information for follow-up support.

Hazard spotting, consequence mapping, risk judgement, control selection and, where appropriate, Go/No-Go decision-making.

No. It provides a foundational understanding and practical baseline. Organisation-specific HIRA workflows, policies and documentation remain specific to each organisation.

Yes. ProVR HIRA provides performance visibility within the training environment, including individual scorecards and pre/post improvement tracking.
