Train your team to shut it down, lock it out, and stay alive; when hazardous energy is mishandled, there are no second chances.
This immersive VR training gives users a practical, step-by-step experience in executing safe Lockout Tagout procedures across a variety of machinery types. Trainees gain real-world readiness by performing full maintenance shutdowns in high-risk environments, without facing real-world consequences.
Hazardous energy can’t be seen—but when LOTO goes wrong, the outcomes are often fatal.
Participants are placed in dynamic maintenance scenarios where they must:
- Conduct maintenance checks on two different machines.
- Shut down equipment using proper LOTO protocols.
- Apply lockout devices and verify energy isolation.
- Notify LOTO steps with effected co-workers
- Identify and respond to LOTO failures in real time.
This scenario-based training builds instinctive, repeatable LOTO skills—equipping your team to protect themselves and others during high-risk maintenance work

Learning Outcomes












LOTO procedure:
- Understand the full 8-step Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedure for safely servicing equipment by isolating energy sources to prevent accidental activation.
Learn when and why LOTO is critical, including:
- During maintenance, inspection, and servicing of machinery.
- To prevent injury from unexpected start-up or release of stored energy.
Apply proper equipment use:
- Padlocks, tags, hasps, bleed valves, breaker switches.
- Storage and return of LOTO devices in lockout stations.
- Key management (keeping lockout keys on your person).
MSP:
- Follow documented machine-specific procedures (MSPs) via QR code scans and tablet references, ensuring correct steps per equipment.
Communicate effectively with affected personnel, both before and after initiating/releasing LOTO:
- Identify all hazardous energy sources
- Electrical
- Pneumatic
- Thermal
- Mechanical
Safely release stored energy:
- Bleeding pressure valves, allowing parts to cool, verifying system shutdown.
- Perform equipment checks and maintenance safely, including: Inspecting oil levels, air filters, belts, and motor safeguards.
A. Tutorial
- Learners are introduced to VR interaction mechanics—handling locks, valves, switches, and tablets.
B. Discovery Phase
- Multiple-choice questions test base knowledge on LOTO purpose and process.
C. Instructional Phase
- Step-by-step walkthrough of the 8 LOTO stages:
- Preparation: Read MSP, notify affected workers.
- Shutdown: Power off equipment using standard methods.
- Isolation: Cut power and pneumatic sources.
- Application of Devices: Lock and tag equipment securely.
- Stored Energy Release: Bleed pressure, let parts cool.
- Verification: Attempt to start equipment to confirm it's de-energised.
- Maintenance: Conduct oil, filter, and belt inspections.
- Release from LOTO: Notify personnel, re-energise, clean up, and return devices.
D. Practice Phase
- Learners repeat the procedure with limited guidance on a different air compressor (40HP).
E. Exam Phase
- Full assessment on a air compressor machine (100HP) with no assistance.
- Mistakes can end the scenario if safety is compromised.
F. Results and Feedback
- Participants receive detailed breakdowns on correct or incorrect steps and missed safety elements.
- Reinforces critical areas like communication, device application, and energy verification.

CONTACT USWhat is Custom VR Builds?
It’s a service where Next World creates a fully tailored VR-training solution for your company — a custom course built to meet your industry-specific requirements rather than using a generic off-the-shelf VR module.
How does the custom-build process work?
The process typically follows these phases: you provide training documentation, subject-matter experts get involved, learning outcomes are identified, storyboard is created, virtual assets are modeled, testing and quality assurance, and finally deployment in your environment.
What type of training scenarios can be built?
You can build VR scenarios for hazard awareness, safe-practice with tools and equipment, practicing safety procedures step-by-step, and even testing learner’s knowledge in simulated hazardous situations — as if in real life but safe.
Is custom VR suitable for refresher training as well?
Yes — custom VR builds can be used for refresher/training-update courses to efficiently refresh skills and knowledge without re-arranging real equipment or putting people at risk.
What learning methodology does custom VR follow?
Next World suggests a blended approach: combining face-to-face, practical and immersive training methods, which helps improve retention, practical competence, and reduces incidents.
