In virtual reality: recognizing sources of fall hazards during mail and parcel delivery (Focus on IFA´s work Nr. 0459)

Accidents caused by tripping, slipping or misstepping occur time and again during mail and parcel delivery. Objects lying in the path of the delivery worker (such as e-scooters that have fallen over) often cause tripping. However, weather events such as rain and snow may also increase the hazard for workers. This sheet 459 of the series “Focus on IFA’s work” shows how typical work situations can be trained in virtual reality and how an existing simulator could be adapted with a specially developed city scenario for delivery staff.
