[RIGGER’S CORNER]
IS A “GOOD FAIL” A REAL THING?
BY: KIM MCPHEE, DIRECTOR OF VR & ONLINE LEARNING, INDUSTRIAL TRAINING INTERNATIONAL (ITI)
THE SCENARIO You’re on your last lift of the day and your signalperson gives you the hoist signal. You start your pick and follow his signals around when suddenly something seems out of place. Te signalperson begins to yell, and you finally see it – your outrigger has started to fail! You curse yourself for not double checking the settings from the previous shift operator; he is an experienced operator after all... Your mind continues to race and urgently search for your next course of action, but it’s your first failure experience – and in the time it takes to make your decision, the crane begins to tip. You scan the area to ensure personnel have cleared and brace for impact. Suddenly your line of sight goes black and you can breathe again, you’ve failed the scenario...
THE EXPLANATION Virtual reality (VR) training provides for this type of on-the job training with real life scenarios in an environment that allows the user to walk away safely at the end of the session. It permits repetitive practice and exposure to high-risk situations that create unprecedented ability to develop skills that otherwise take years of hands-on experience to acquire. Tis capability, incorporated into a training program, make for an unparalleled employee safety and development package.
THE STATS Acceptance: 69% of companies think VR/AR will become mainstream within 5 years (91% within 10 years) but only 29% are actively planning or implementing. (Jabil, 2019).
Retention: Te average person retains 75% of what they learn from practice, compared to only 30% retention via a demonstration. Incredibly, the average retention level goes down to 5% from lecture-based teaching. (Education Corner, 2019).
Recall: If you’ve experienced a situation or made a mistake before your brain’s early warning signal is triggered before conscious consideration has even begun. (LiveScience, 2007).
