Slinging is the operation that links a load to a lifting device in order to move the load. Professional slinging training is crucial. The slinger must have undertaken theoretical and practical training on slinging techniques and best practices.
Bad slinging poses a significant risk of serious accidents. Lifting has seen many accidents and they are often spectacularly dramatic. In fact, 40% of lifting accidents are due to the load becoming unattached. 52% of accidents linked to bad slinging cause hospitalisation, for reasons ranging from amputation to death in 46% of cases.
So, it’s crucial to be trained before carrying out slinging activities. This means learning to evaluate the load mass, work out its centre of gravity and choose the right lifting accessories with that in mind. The suitability of all lifting accessories used in the slinging link should be checked, including their maximum useful capacity and physical integrity. Then, it has to be attached the right way and with safety and care.
Come In VR has developed a virtual reality training solution for slinging. This immersive experience allows the learner to:
Quickly memorise best practices, develop reflexes and learn safely while still being immersed in real-life working conditions.
Slinging training with virtual reality technology, has many benefits. It allows training centres or companies to use sufficient suitable material without taking up production space and using real machines. It allows them to validate skills before entering a work site. Virtual reality allows space for mistakes, without taking risks or putting the apprentice slinger and their site colleagues in a dangerous situation.
Preventing the risks involved and raising awareness of safety at work
Doesn’t take up any space and doesn’t need a real machine, no damage to equipment
An interactive tool to make the information more attractive and less boring
Automatically checking equipment and lifting accessories, making good decisions by observing the environment and being aware of the risks to yourself and others.
Estimating the mass and centre of gravity of a load
Checking the state of slings
Choosing the right sling
With virtual reality, the learner is free from risks and can repeat the action, work on their skill and be made aware of the risks of the environment without being in physical danger.
You train trainees for your clients and want to reduce downtime and increase interactivity during your training
You want to reduce work accidents and prevent risks by raising awareness among your employees using innovative tools
You are training young apprentices, you want to modernize your training and attract their attention with appropriate tools
Firstly, by recreating environments and situations that are hard to recreate in real life and are often costly in terms of equipment.
The programme is replicable, there are no limits to how many times it can be used for large-scale training sessions.
Performance can be measured and compared objectively among learners.
