TORONTO, July 25,
2023 /CNW/ - The Learning Network (TLN), an
innovative learning solutions partner, and part of the Pluribus
Technologies (TSXV: PLRB) family, has announced the launch of
FireWise: Hands-On Fire Extinguisher Safety Training, a virtual
reality (VR) learning application designed to train users on fire
extinguishers and emergency response.
FireWise's Hands-On Fire Extinguisher Safety Training is set to
transform the way individuals learn about fire safety and emergency
response. Fire safety is a critical aspect of any workplace and
proper fire extinguisher training is an essential aspect of an
emergency response plan. Traditional training methods often fall
short in providing engaging and realistic hands-on experiences,
resulting in limited knowledge retention and inadequate response
during emergencies.
There are several key features and benefits of the FireWise VR
application:
- Immersive Training: This VR training offers immersive and
realistic environments that replicate various fire scenarios. Users
can navigate virtual spaces, interact with fire extinguishers, and
practice extinguishing fires in a safe and controlled virtual
setting.
- Cost-Effective Solution: FireWise significantly reduces
training costs associated with traditional logistics, such as
organizing physical fire drills or hiring external trainers. With
our application, organizations can provide comprehensive fire
extinguisher training to their employees at a fraction of the time
and cost.
- Remote Accessibility: Easily accessible from anywhere, enabling
organizations to train geographically dispersed teams efficiently.
Users can access the application through VR headsets, ensuring
flexibility and convenience.
"FireWise VR Training eliminates the risks associated with live
fire drills," says Caroline Dupuis,
SVP of XR Products at TLN. "Learners can practice using fire
extinguishers without the danger of real pan fires, smoke or
potential injuries. We developed it so that participants can build
confidence and develop their skills in a safe and controlled
virtual environment without the need for an elaborate real-life
setup that past fire extinguisher training sessions use."
FireWise walks learners through the steps required to use many
different types of fire extinguishers that may be found on
industrial sites, offices, retail settings, and other environments.
It trains the learners to use the PASS Method – Pull, Aim, Squeeze,
and Sweep – to extinguish fires completely. Learners can choose to
extinguish fires with different ignition sources, including gases,
liquids, and electrical sources. They can also alter settings for
the size and location of the fires they are interacting with.
FireWise includes a tutorial where the users can learn about the
different types of fire extinguishers and what situations they
should be used in.
"XR training programs have the capability to reach learners
across so many different industries, and that's why our FireWise VR
Training program is so exciting for us," adds Richard Adair, CEO of Pluribus Technologies. "By
bringing ROI-driven XR use cases to our clients, we are
establishing ourselves as innovators in this rapidly growing
market."
TLN remains committed to advancing education and safety through
innovative technology. FireWise VR represents a significant leap
forward in fire extinguisher training, empowering individuals to
develop the skills needed to respond effectively in fire
emergencies.
