VR SOP Training for Heavy Lift & Rigging Operations

Safer lifts, clearer roles and fewer near misses

Rigging and heavy lifting require disciplined planning, signalling and exclusion zones. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your lift plans, sling selection, crane set-up checks, banksman signals and stop-work rules—so teams practise high-risk situations safely.

Typical challenges

• Planning: load charts, ground bearing pressures and weather limits.
• Rigging: sling angles, shackles, softeners and inspection checks.
• Communication: clear hand signals, radio discipline and stop-work authority.
• Exclusion zones: barriers, spotters and safe positioning.

Our bespoke build approach

1. Capture SOPs & site rules: lift plans, permits and role cards.
2. Create scenarios: complex lift, wind change, tag line issue and emergency stop drill.
3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your signage and method statements.
4. Assess: decision-making, safety behaviours and procedural adherence.

Benefits

• Fewer incidents and safer lifts.
• Better teamwork and communication.
• Traceable competence evidence for contractors and clients.
