Virtual reality is helping GP enable real-world safety for our employees, and that's our No.1 priority. The Fort Dodge, Iowa, gypsum facility overhauled its safety training program in 2022, and the VR experience for control of hazardous energy became a key component. The module walks users through a lock-tag-verify (LTV) procedure, where they shut off a piece of equipment, lock it down and then test it to verify the machinery cannot run. Since the training updates, the Fort Dodge facility has seen fewer incorrectly executed LTVs that could put employees at risk.
