Virsat

Bonded through their common passion for developing safety strategies and technological innovations, Willem, Dick, and Bassam have established VIRSAT LLC which stands for Virtual Reality Safety Training. The three partners have developed this passion through their vast experience working for major oil and gas companies around the world and witnessing the dire need for an innovative learning process that would support companies in their HSSE policies and implementation.

They experienced real-life fatal incidents, studied the causation and underlying issues, and were material in Shell’s effort to change the safety performance to a best in class. They realized the positive impact of imagery and animations in the process of teaching and decided to focus their attention on building  transformational learning experiences” through the use of audio-visual animations and VR technology.

A whole suite of products is developed as a serious game, application, or interactive animation. VIRSAT’s mission is to provide support to companies in finding the best solution to implement their respective HSSE policies and in turn, provide a safer environment for their workers.
