VR training for mining — underground, surface, DGMS-aligned.

Drona VR for mining trains operators where the work happens — at the face, underground, on surface. DGMS-aligned modules cover confined space, LOTO, emergency response, and equipment operations. Runs offline on the headset; data syncs at the depot.

The mining reality

Operators train at the surface. They work at the face.

Most mining safety training happens in surface classrooms. The work happens underground or in pits, far from training rooms. Drona VR closes the gap by bringing realistic SOP rehearsal to where the work is.

// PROBLEM 01

Underground has zero network coverage.

Conventional digital training tools fail underground. Drona modules run entirely on the headset — train at the face if needed.

// PROBLEM 02

Confined space deaths are highest in mining.

Sump entry, rescue chamber, ore pass — confined space fatalities are a structural risk. Reflex through rehearsal is the only effective control.

// PROBLEM 03

Equipment operator certification takes weeks.

New operators on dragline, shovel, or LHD need extensive practice. Drona accelerates the practice phase without putting machinery at risk.

// PROBLEM 04

DGMS audits demand training records.

Per-learner per-step records are increasingly the audit standard. Drona generates these automatically; classroom training does not.

Compliance frameworks

Aligned with the standards your auditors check.

Every Drona VR mining module maps to the regulatory frameworks that govern your plant. Documentation is automatic, audit-ready, exportable.

If you've said this

The conversations we hear in every Mining EHS office.

Underground operations are a black hole for training. We literally take headsets down the shaft now and operators rehearse the SOP at the face.

Mine Manager • Coal mine

DGMS started asking for evidence of competency, not attendance. The Drona reports match the format they want.

Head of Safety • Metals mine

Confined space training in classrooms achieves nothing. The day one operator faces a real sump, they freeze. VR rehearsal changes that.

EHS Lead • Coal mine

Our equipment operator certification used to take 8 weeks. We compressed to 3 weeks with Drona. Throughput improved.

Production Head • Iron ore mine

Train mining for the work where mistakes are audit findings.
