The complexity of the refineries is increasing and the importance of ensuring the safety of the workers, the refineries, the plant as well as the people around is crucial. Any operational inefficiencies, or unskilled workforce, and the rising gap in the skills due to an aging workforce can lead to unintended occupational and safety hazards.

As per reports, the employees at refineries are 5 times more likely to be injured than the employees in other industrial sectors and the count is always rising with time. Therefore, the health and safety of the workforce should be a prime concern. Companies in this sector have now started to adopt technologies and measures that help to ensure the safety of their workforce

Augmented Reality (AR) training has become a lot more common than it was a few months ago. Thanks to the pandemic, this technology is now being used by major tech as well as industrial companies to support their workforce, streamline operations and ensure the safety of the workforce.
