3D training and OHS in the workplace

3D training in the workplace: the principle

3D on-site training starts from a Matterport 3D virtual tour of your building: the Pro3 camera scans every zone, and Matterport assembles it into a model you move through freely, with the floor plan view and the measurement tool. We then place your health and safety officer’s instructions and videos at the exact spot where they apply, and chain the important stops into a guided path.

The result is a digital twin for training: true to life, up to date, available in a browser, without booking a room or pulling a supervisor off the floor.

Onboarding and orientation before day one

The first day is often spent searching: the locker rooms, the nearest exit, the zone where a hard hat becomes mandatory. With 3D employee onboarding and orientation, all of this is discovered at home, the day before. New employees receive a link, walk through the building, open the tags; they arrive already knowing the premises. The same link serves the outside contractor for their safety orientation.

OHS instructions where they apply

In OHS training through a virtual tour, the instruction is no longer a slide: it is an information tag placed in the space. What we place with your OHS officer:

• Zones: at the entrance to an area, the list of required protective equipment.
• Lockout: the procedure, as a PDF or a video, in front of the panel or valve concerned.
• Equipment: the sheet for a press, a forklift or a hood, in front of the unit.
• Exits and first aid: exits, fire extinguishers, eyewash stations, first aid kits, defibrillators, each in its place.

Tags accept text, photos, videos, PDFs and links; layers group them by theme, and the search finds a word across all the content.

A guided path, then one version per position

So that no one misses the essentials, the important stops are chained into a guided tour: locker rooms, workstation, hazardous areas, exits, in the order of a real first day, with a caption at each stop. Everyone can then explore freely.

Not all teams need the same content. According to Matterport, a single tour can have up to 10 views, each with its own tags and access: production, maintenance, subcontractors. With our branding tool, the menu also presents a section per position, in your colours, in French and in English; a questionnaire can be added on request.

Remote training in the workplace, without risk

Some areas are hard to visit as a group: an electrical room, a roof, a service void. In the tour, they are explored on screen, with their instructions, before entering for real. And since the scan takes place during your operations or after hours, training never stops production.

Matterport cites up to 30% more training efficiency in the manufacturing sector. In its case studies (Matterport clients, not Panosphere clients), Aetos reports building engineer training time cut in half, and KLM, cleaning teams 30% faster.

Content you keep up to date

A machine is moved, a procedure is revised: the tag is edited online, by your team with access to the Matterport editor ($150 per year) and a one-hour training session included, or by ours at $90 per hour. When a zone is reorganized, we rescan only that zone and merge it into the existing model. The same model feeds the equipment register and the emergency response plan, each in its own view.
