This VR module rehearses emergency response and evacuation in a model of your own building. Staff practise raising the alarm, choosing safe routes, helping others and reporting at the assembly point.
01 — Overview
Real evacuation drills test alarms and timings, but each person usually follows the crowd along the main route. Few people practise an alternative exit.
In a real emergency, smoke or blocked exits can change the plan. People who have only practised one route may freeze or turn the wrong way.
A virtual reality evacuation simulator lets each person rehearse different scenarios in a model of their own building. They learn the real routes and exits.
02 — What's included
Built from your floor plans, so staff learn the real routes and exits.
Smoke, blocked exits and injured colleagues force staff to adapt.
Fire wardens and floor marshals practise their duties.
Each drill is replayed to show routes, delays and wrong turns.
03 — Key features
We model your building from floor plans, photos or a scan. Exits, stairs, assembly points and alarm points appear where they are in reality.
Staff can explore the building in VR before their first day. New starters learn the escape routes before they need them.
Scenarios include smoke, blocked exits, injured colleagues and visitors who need help. Trainees must adapt their route and actions.
Each decision is recorded, from raising the alarm to reaching the assembly point. Wrong turns and delays appear clearly in the replay.
Wardens and marshals have extra duties, such as sweeping their area and reporting to the incident controller. The module rehearses each duty.
Practising these roles in VR helps wardens act calmly and confidently. They know exactly which areas to check and in what order.
After each drill, trainers replay the trainee's route on a floor plan. Delays, wrong turns and skipped checks are easy to see.
Group results show where many people go wrong. Safety teams can then improve signage or change the evacuation plan itself.
Trainees often head for the entrance they came in by, use lifts in a fire or stop for belongings. Wardens sometimes skip areas during their sweep.
The replay shows each wrong turn and delay on the floor plan. Trainees then repeat the drill and choose a better route.
Evacuation training pairs with the extinguisher module, so staff know when to fight a fire and when to leave. Wardens benefit most from both.
Process sites often add the gas leak and chemical spill modules. Those emergencies may call for a different route or muster point than a fire.
We build for standalone headsets such as Meta Quest 3, so no PC or cables are needed. Culenz can supply, set up and maintain the headset fleet for you.
Voice-over and on-screen text are produced in the languages your workforce uses, which we agree at scoping. Simple visual cues help workers who read little.
Every attempt is logged with the trainee's name, score, time and errors. Records export to your LMS through SCORM or xAPI, or as a spreadsheet for audits.
Many sites start the emergency evacuation module as a pilot with one department or shift. That shows how workers respond before a full rollout.
A pilot also tests practical details, such as where headsets are stored and who runs sessions. Those answers shape the wider rollout plan.
At the end, we review results with your EHS team and agree the next steps. Most sites then add more modules or more headsets.
04 — Our process
A typical emergency evacuation session takes ten to twenty minutes in a standalone VR headset. A short briefing comes first, then the virtual task, then a debrief with the trainer.
Sessions run in a training room, a site office or a corner of the shop floor. Each trainee needs only a clear area of about two by two metres.
Trainers can run several headsets at once and watch each trainee's view on a tablet. That keeps a group moving through the module in one shift.
We agree tasks, trainees, sites and success measures with your EHS or training leads.
Your experts approve every step, hazard and score before the build starts.
We build the module, test it on the headset and review it with your trainers.
One group or site trains first, and we review the results together.
Headsets, records and refresher content are rolled out across your sites, with maintenance.
05 — Planning your project
Pricing
Cost depends mainly on how much is custom. A library module with your branding costs less than one set in a full model of your site.
The number of scenarios, languages and headsets also matters. Annual support and content updates can be added as a separate maintenance plan.
We share an itemised quote after a short scoping call. Content, hardware and support are listed separately, so you see what each part costs.
06 — Why Culenz
Culenz is a virtual reality company with offices across India and Dubai. We build VR training for plants and sites in both markets.
One team scripts the emergency evacuation module with your EHS team, then builds, installs and supports it. You deal with one contact from the first demo to the last refresher.
07 — FAQs
No. Real drills test alarms, timings and the whole building at once, and they stay essential. VR adds to drills by letting each person practise more often, even scenarios too disruptive to stage.
Offices, factories, hospitals, hotels, malls, schools and high-rise buildings. Any building with complex routes or changing occupants benefits, because people learn the exits before an emergency. Scenarios use your own floor plans.
Yes. Scenarios can include gas leaks, chemical releases, bomb threats or earthquakes, depending on your emergency plan. Each scenario follows the response steps your site has already defined in its emergency plan.
It depends on the building's size and the detail needed. A single floor takes less time than a multi-storey site with plant rooms. Culenz confirms a schedule once we have your floor plans and photos.
