Work at height incidents cut by 38%.

A multi-site Indian EPC contractor used Drona VR Work at Height modules across active project sites — no Wi-Fi infrastructure required. Harness inspection competency reached 100%. Incidents fell 38% in the first quarter.

The challenge

Greenfield sites had no network. Training delayed start of work.

// CUSTOMER

Indian EPC contractor

Indian EPC contractor with multiple active project sites — power, infrastructure, and industrial construction.

New project sites took weeks to provision network. Operator training depended on connectivity. The customer's schedule pressure was acute.

The Drona solution

Module deployed: Work at Height.

// MODULE

Work at Height

View module →

Drona VR's offline-first runtime made site rollout trivial. Headsets arrived with content pre-loaded. Operators trained on day one of mobilisation, not week three.

Implementation

Deployment timeline.

Week 1–2

SOP mapping

Harness inspection and edge protection SOPs mapped.

Week 3–4

Module config

Site-agnostic Work at Height module built.

Week 5–6

Site pilot

First project site deployment, day-one mobilisation.

Week 7+

Multi-site rollout

Headsets rotated across active sites.

Results

Numbers from 90 days post-deployment.

~38%

Incident rate.

Work-at-height incidents declined ~38% across project portfolio in 90 days.

100%

Harness inspection.

Every operator passed harness inspection competency in evaluation.

0

Network requirement.

No site needed Wi-Fi to deploy training. Training started on day one of mobilisation.

OSHA

Documentation aligned.

Per-learner records aligned with OSHA 1926.501 documentation expectations.

Greenfield sites without Wi-Fi were a black hole for training. Drona changed that — operators arrived, trained, got certified, got to work.

Lessons

Three takeaways from this deployment.

// LESSON 01

Mobilisation is the bottleneck.

For multi-site EPCs, schedule pressure makes mobilisation training the highest-impact VR use case.

// LESSON 02

Headset-rotation works.

A small fleet of headsets rotated across sites was more cost-effective than provisioning at every site.

// LESSON 03

Insurance and incident rate correlate.

Documented incident reduction within one quarter triggered insurance review.

Train construction for the work where mistakes are audit findings.
