The HKIE webinar
named “New Era of VR Technology: Application on Disaster Preparedness and
Response Training in the field of Railway Industry” was held by Safety
Specialist Committee (SSC) on 28th Oct 2021. Ensuring safety becomes
a growing priority in the industry. When disaster or multi-casualty incident
(MCI) happens, the personnel should equip with the situational awareness to
encounter the emergency. Virtual reality
(VR) technology introduces a whole new dimension to risk management by allowing
company to validate decisions in an immersive 3D virtual world before
implementing them. Mr. Tim Yuen and Ms.
Elaine Kwok were guest speakers.
Firstly, Mr. Tim Yuen
described Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) is a wide range of incidents both
natural (e.g. floods, windstorms) and man-made (e.g. chemical spills, factory
fires, buildings collapse, etc.) Then he explained the 4-C Principle Chain of
Emergency Reponses and there are Command, Control, Coordination &
Communication.
Then he briefed well preparation
for emergencies including small scale exercises, regular exercise and drills.
After that Ms. Elaine
Kwok mentioned some challenges in the incident command training including time,
frequency and existing training format.
Finally, Ms. Kwok introduced
using virtual reality simulation to provide exercises. XVR Scenario concept was introduced that 3D
Environment + 3D Objects + Instructor know-how & design time = XVR Scenario
(To Game, Teach, Train and Assess).
The emergency response
training included situational awareness, information gathering, decision
making, planning, communication, command & control, logistics, as well as,
review in a variety of sectors.
Lastly, she
demonstrated different kinds of incidents simulation such as subway
environment, subway sarin attach, construction safety and security, etc.
Different modelling and techniques were discussed. She concluded a competent
emergency manager should be the right person, making the right decisions, at
the right time and for the right reasons.
After Q&A
session, representative of SSC presented appreciation certification to guests.
