Safety training that sticks

The Hazard Factory is the safest way to make mistakes – and learn from them. Our VR safety trainings go beyond theory, immersing your team in lifelike scenarios. You’ll recognize hazards faster, learn how to deal with them, and build lasting behavioral change.

Experience
is remembering

People remember what they experience, not what they hear in a classroom. Our VR trainings bring reality to life, making knowledge and behavior truly stick.

Practice without risk

We simulate dangerous situations in a lifelike way. You’re allowed to make mistakes — without consequences, but with powerful learning effects.

Stronger together

Up to 10 participants train simultaneously in the same virtual world. You discuss decisions together, learn to act as a team, and build a culture of shared vigilance.

A full-service story

From trainers and hardware to software, locations, and content — we handle it all. You only need to bring your participants.

Through our learning platform, you gain access to all trainings, reports, and schedules. You can see who completed which session, with detailed analytics on results. It keeps everything clear, measurable, and actionable.

From practical pain points to innovative solutions

After 25 years in high-risk industries, founder Wouter Van Derbeken saw the same pattern over and over again: the certificates and systems were in order, but incidents still happened on the work floor. The real causes lay deeper — too little hands-on experience in realistic situations, and too little intrinsic motivation for safety. 

With The Hazard Factory, we’ve changed that. In lifelike VR scenarios, teams train together, make mistakes without consequences, and learn to address each other constructively. This builds shared vigilance: safety as an act of respect and care for colleagues. That’s the kind of experience that sticks — and transforms behavior for good.
