The Virtual Reality (VR) training is one of modern simulation tools which has been used to help train up staffs to operate equipment and facilities, as well as handling emergency situations in different industries. This paper discusses the theories supporting the adoption of VR technologies in the laboratories and pros/cons of Virtual Reality Training systems. Virtual reality technologies have been applied to different types of trainings in many industries, such as product design and manufacturing, facilities maintenances and territory teaching purposes. A typical virtual reality system includes four basic elements: 1) Input devices in order to simulate the working behavior; 2) Output devices; such as VR headset to allow the user in the virtual environment; 3) graphical system that produce simulated scenario(s); 4) Database to store the different conditions to simulate the operation environment.

“…A project explored the use of VR to train student nurses in performing irrigation procedures independently [24]. Other related examples outside the healthcare sector include a VR application designed to train military personnel in cordoning off areas affected by CBRNE threats [25], and a VR training program developed for industrial workers that involved responding to chemical incidents and controlling leaks, with only a small section dedicated to decontaminating equipment and staff [26]. None of these address the decontamination procedures for chemical hazards, specifically targeting the training of staff to scan casualties.…”

Patient decontamination is the act of removing or neutralising hazardous substances from an affected individual. To ensure adequate emergency preparedness, regulations require hospitals to train personnel in decontamination procedures regularly. To supplement in-person training, a virtual reality (VR) system is being developed for the training of hospital staff members in the mass decontamination of hazardous and toxic materials (HAZMAT) and/or radioactively contaminated casualties. As a demonstration of the concept, a primary VR prototype is designed to help users familiarize themselves with a chemical scanner tool, intended for examining victims for residual chemical hazards. This initial prototype showcases the benefits of using VR to create training simulations, complementing existing decontamination training methods in a secure and cost-effective manner. The proposed approach features a modularized user-centric design, a novel scanning simulation, and a high-realism virtual environment and workflow to enhance training effectiveness. A pilot user study and assessment suggest that new users were able to achieve a significant level of competency with VR, compared to users who underwent traditional training.

“…Other related research outside the healthcare sector includes a VR application designed to train military personnel in cordoning areas affected by CBRNE threats (Lamberti et al 2021), which differs from the focus of the current study. Similarly, a VR training program for industrial workers involves responding to chemical incidents and controlling leaks, with only a small section dedicated to decontaminating equipment and staff (An et al 2019).…”

This paper presents the ongoing development of a Proof-of-Concept Virtual Reality (VR) system for staff training for Tan Tock Seng Hospital mass decontamination of Hazardous and Toxic Materials (HAZMAT) and/or radioactively contaminated casualties. As a Proof-of-Concept, the initial prototype focuses on allowing users to practice using a chemical scanner device that would be used to scan casualties for leftover chemical hazards. The preliminary development demonstrates the advantages of utilizing VR for supplementing current decontamination training in a safe and economical way.
