Does virtual reality replace required training?

No. Regulations define content, hours and, in some cases, live hands-on practice. Virtual reality lets workers practice more often, in scenarios that can't be safely recreated, and leaves an objective record of what each person can actually do. That evidence strengthens your safety management program in an inspection or an audit.

What changed with DS 44 in Chile

Chile's DS 44 sets out how employers must manage occupational risk prevention and replaces the former DS 40 and DS 54. It reinforces the obligation to identify hazards, assess risks and train workers on the hazards of their job. A simulator-based program helps demonstrate that this training took place and was effective.
