Industrial Site Safety Training
Streamline manufacturing safety training with Swyvl’s interactive virtual tours.
For a high-tech manufacturing company, safety is a top priority. With complex machinery and hazardous areas, their facility is strictly off-limits to most visitors. However, new contractors and employees need to familiarize themselves with the site layout and safety protocols before starting work. Traditional methods, like guided safety tours, were time-consuming and risky for both the visitors and the operations team.
To solve this problem, the company turned to Swyvl. By capturing 360-degree images of the facility, they created an interactive virtual tour that included key areas such as emergency exits, safety equipment stations, restricted zones, and designated workspaces. Each image was geolocated on a site map, providing clear context for the layout and pathways.
The virtual tour was integrated into the company’s onboarding process. Contractors and new employees now receive a Swyvl link prior to their first day, allowing them to explore the site and understand safety requirements remotely. The tour also highlights specific hazards, such as machinery areas requiring special protective gear, ensuring workers are better prepared before stepping onto the factory floor.
How Swyvl Improved Safety Training
1. Enhanced Safety Awareness
Contractors and employees could visualize the site and understand risks without being physically present, reducing the chance of accidents.
2. Time-Saving Solution
The virtual tour replaced lengthy guided walkthroughs, allowing supervisors to focus on critical tasks.
3. Streamlined Onboarding
New team members arrived better informed, making safety briefings more efficient and effective.
Feedback from the Team
“The Swyvl virtual tour has made our onboarding process safer and more efficient. New hires feel confident because they’ve already seen the layout and know what to expect.”
