Virtual reality mine training simulator launched today in Argenton, NSW
Australian Minister for Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations, Senator Chris Evans, launched a new virtual reality mine training and rescue simulator today at the Newcastle Mines Rescue Station in Argenton, New south Wales, Australian Labor reports.
“This amazing new software demonstrates how technology can be used to train people for the very critical task of mine rescue,” Senator Evans said. “While we would hope workers will never need to have to use these skills, or encounter mine accidents, it is reassuring to know that companies are investing in initiatives for the safety of Australian miners.” Developed by Coal Services, the world-leading software package has been developed over the past 18 months and is the latest stage of a five-year project.
