Transforming Driver Safety Training in the Oil and Gas Industry Through Virtual Reality

Global warming is on top of many people's mind as it potentially impacts the whole world population. However an actual big impact on people are workplace related incidents. For all countries in the world, it is estimated that more than 80,000 people die each year based on repeated incidents. Only in the EU and US on average resp. 3500 and 4800 workers die each year due to mostly repeated incidents. This trend is more or less stable over the last 10 years. Many of these incidents happened before and will happen again unless we change our ways of working. Why is there no improvement of the number of workplace related fatalities and why is it tolerated that more than 200 people die each day somewhere in the world due to preventable workplace related incidents?

Abstract

Global warming is on top of many people's mind as it potentially impacts the whole world population. However an actual big impact on people are workplace related incidents. For all countries in the world, it is estimated that more than 80,000 people die each year based on repeated incidents. Only in the EU and US on average resp. 3500 and 4800 workers die each year due to mostly repeated incidents. This trend is more or less stable over the last 10 years. Many of these incidents happened before and will happen again unless we change our ways of working. Why is there no improvement of the number of workplace related fatalities and why is it tolerated that more than 200 people die each day somewhere in the world due to preventable workplace related incidents?
