Helix EHS's virtual site inductions allow employees and visitors to familiarise themselves with the exact layout of the manufacturing environment and remain aware of potential hazards in a safe, controlled virtual space. The interactive nature of these walkthroughs ensures that employees are not just passive observers but active participants in their training experience. They can engage with the virtual environment, explore different scenarios, and receive real-time feedback, making the learning process both effective and engaging.

Digital kiosks serve as interactive information hubs, strategically located throughout the factory. Users can easily access critical safety information, procedures, and updates at the kiosk. The digital kiosks also provide immediate access to a comprehensive digital platform, they offer managers enhanced oversight and real-time insights into potential safety issues or impending machine failures. This system ensures that management can respond more swiftly and effectively to any concerns, maintaining a safer and more efficient workplace environment in manufacturing.

3D Safety™ is a testament to Helix EHS's commitment to innovative safety solutions. By creating detailed 3D models of equipment and machinery, this tool allows for more thorough and effective safety audits and checks. It enables a level of precision and understanding in safety inspections that was previously unattainable, leading to better compliance, maintenance, and hazard prevention.

The incorporation of these technologies has significantly enhanced transparency and accountability in health and safety procedures within the manufacturing environment.
