Train your team to stay alert, think ahead, and work safely around one of the most dangerous machines in the warehouse.
This immersive experience drops users into a dynamic warehouse where forklifts are in constant motion—and the hazards are real. Unlike traditional training that focuses solely on the operator, this course is built for everyone who shares the space. Using high-risk scenarios that can’t be safely replicated in real life, it teaches critical awareness and decision-making under pressure.
Forklifts don’t just pose risks to drivers—over half of all forklift accidents involve pedestrians.
Participants move through a high-impact simulation where they must:
- Identify hazards caused by pedestrian-forklift interaction.
- Apply the Hierarchy of Controls and Risk Assessment Matrix to mitigate risks.
- React to unfolding dangers that mirror real-world incidents.
- Complete hazard inspections under exam conditions to demonstrate understanding.
This proactive, hands-on training transforms how your team views warehouse safety—shifting the focus from compliance to culture, and from awareness to action.

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.
