Train your team to lift smart, move safely, and reduce the risk of injury—before poor habits lead to lifelong consequences.
This immersive VR training drops users into a warehouse environment where they’ll experience the real impacts of unsafe manual handling. Trainees learn not just the theory behind proper technique, but how to identify risks, apply control measures, and take proactive steps to protect their physical health.
Manual handling is the leading cause of workplace injuries and compensation claims—and almost always preventable.
Participants engage in high-risk manual handling scenarios where they must:
- Identify hazardous lifting, carrying, and movement tasks.
- Learn which musculoskeletal systems are most at risk.
- Apply safe lifting principles and risk reduction techniques.
- Use the Hierarchy of Controls to manage manual handling risks.
- Solve problems in real time to prevent injury and improve site safety.
This hands-on experience builds muscle memory and risk awareness—helping workers build safer habits that protect them every shift, not just during training.

What 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.
