Effective digital simulations for meat plant safety training: Improving outcomes through eXtended Reality interactive training

Objective

1. Replace traditional instructor led employee training sessions in meat slaughter operations, with digital learning methods. 2. Document the compliance rates to target behaviours, before and after deployment of the digital training modules, to verify the effectiveness of the training solution. 3. Provide a digital environment for trainees to progressively explore, learn, and rehearse the vital activities that support safe practices, while leveraging the experience of subject matter experts during development and deployment. 4. Make the training modules developed through this project accessible, detailed, self-explanatory, and register in employee memory encouraging them to adopt those best management practices. 5. Ensure maximum business value for the developed training modules by undertaking close collaboration with industry partners and using software development best practices. 6. Make digital training modules using technologies and platforms that are the most cost effective for deployment and use.
