10ⁿ Tech builds immersive VR and 3D health, safety and environment (HSE) training simulators for high-risk industries across the UAE and the GCC. We turn the rules people are meant to follow – permits, energy isolation, working at height, confined-space entry – into hands-on practice in a safe virtual environment, so skills stick and incidents drop. We have delivered for government and industrial clients including Dubai Municipality.

When VR beats traditional training: D.I.C.E
VR earns its place when in-person training is one of four things. We call it D.I.C.E:
Live high-risk work – energy, height, toxic gas – where mistakes injure people.
Scenarios you can’t stage for real – emergencies, plant shutdowns, rare failures.
Training that disrupts live operations or ties up working equipment.
Specialist trainers, scarce equipment, or sites you can only visit occasionally.
Life-Saving Rules, practised in VR
Our HSE simulators cover the ten IOGP Life-Saving Rules – the scenarios that most often separate a normal shift from a fatality. Each is built as an interactive VR exercise, not a slideshow:
Work only with a valid permit.
Protect against falls.
Verify isolation and zero energy.
Authorize before entry.
Stay clear of moving machinery.
Control flammables and ignition.
Plan lifts, control the area.
Follow toxic-environment rules.
Safe driving, seatbelts on.
Authorize before overriding safety.
Industries we train
Oil & gas, power and electrical substations, water and wastewater treatment, construction and EPC, manufacturing, and corporate office safety. Scenarios are built to your site, your equipment, and your regulations – not generic stock content.
How our VR HSE training works
We design simulators around your real processes, then deliver them as a managed training environment:
- Pre-project survey – we study your task cards, regulations, processes and existing training, then write the functional and technical scenario requirements.
- Scenario design and build – interactive VR exercises modelled on your facility, with step-by-step procedures and error notifications.
- Defect injection – we add noise, vibration, leaks and faults so trainees solve problems instead of memorising a fixed path.
- Entry and exit testing – assess the starting level, then measure progress; automatic grading in exam mode.
- Instructor dashboards – assign courses by role, department or project; track completion, accuracy and time-on-task with exportable reports.
- Managed platform – our VR training management platform handles users, groups (with Active Directory import), a simulator library, multi-language scenarios and AI-generated audio prompts, in a secure, access-controlled environment.
Run it on any device
The same training runs on VR headset, kiosk, tablet, and desktop/web – so you can scale from an immersive headset experience to a browser-based version for large-group onboarding.
Proof
A full operations-and-maintenance training complex for two of the UAE’s largest water treatment plants: 21 VR scenarios, three emergency drills (fire, flood, blackout), 25 2D scenarios, 4,500+ interactive objects and a copy of the plant’s automated process-control system.
A VR introduction to the full oil exploration, production and transportation cycle for a major oil-service company – a 5-year process learned in 30 minutes across 10 scenarios.
A VR simulator with full-body haptic feedback to practise working at height and lifting operations for a large oil-and-gas company.
A life-sized, photogrammetry-based VR simulator for geologists (multi-user, up to 20 trainees) that cut training cost per geologist by around 95%.
Frequently asked questions
What HSE scenarios can VR training cover?
The ten IOGP Life-Saving Rules – work authorization, working at height, energy isolation, confined space, line of fire, hot work, safe lifting, toxic gas, driving, and bypassing safety controls – plus site-specific operation, maintenance and emergency-response scenarios built to your facility.
Does VR safety training work for oil & gas?
Yes. Much of our work is for oil & gas, energy and heavy industry – well-lifecycle onboarding, substation switching, working at height, confined-space entry and emergency drills – exactly the high-risk tasks that are dangerous or impossible to rehearse for real.
How much does VR training reduce cost and injuries?
Independent research puts it at up to 60% lower training cost and up to 90% fewer injuries versus physical trainers, with 10-40% higher trainee performance. One of our geologist simulators cut cost per trainee by around 95%.
What devices does it run on?
VR headset, kiosk, tablet, and desktop/web – so you can mix an immersive headset experience with a browser version for large-group onboarding.
Can it integrate with our training or LMS system?
Yes. Our VR training management platform supports Active Directory user import, role/department/project-based course assignment, exam grading, and exportable statistics and reports for your training records.
Do you build custom scenarios for our site?
Always. Every simulator starts with a survey of your processes, equipment and regulations, so the training reflects your real facility rather than generic content.
