Rental Launch of 'VR Safety Training System 3-Axis VR Simulator'

Actio Corporation (Headquarters: Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and COO: Naoto Konuma, hereinafter 'Actio'), a comprehensive construction equipment rental company, has announced a collaboration with Meiden System Solution Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Numazu, Shizuoka Prefecture; President and Director: Yasuhiro Yoshino, hereinafter 'Meiden System Solution') to launch rental services for the 'VR Safety Training System 3-Axis VR Simulator' on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. This innovative system delivers immersive safety training for potential workplace accidents at construction sites.

According to statistics from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the number of workers injured or killed in industrial accidents has significantly decreased from a peak of approximately 350,000 during the Showa era, thanks to regulatory reforms and improvements in on-site equipment. However, in recent years, the number of cases involving four or more days of work stoppage has plateaued at around 130,000 annually, indicating a slowdown in further reductions. One of the primary contributing factors is 'human error,' which is involved in approximately 80% of industrial accidents (source: Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare).

In the past, when dangers were more prevalent, traditional classroom-based safety education was somewhat effective. However, with improved working environments and safer equipment, workers often lack sufficient awareness of 'where the danger lies' or 'what constitutes a hazard,' making the enhancement of hazard prediction skills a critical challenge.

To address this issue, Meiden System Solution has developed the '3-Axis VR Simulator' as part of the Meiden Group's safety experiential education initiative. The system features a motion platform that synchronizes physical sensations—such as tilting, shaking, and impact—with VR visuals, enabling realistic simulations of falls from heights, vehicle rollovers, and other hazardous scenarios. As a next-generation safety training system, it aims to improve workers' hazard recognition and reinforce safety awareness, thereby reducing human error and contributing to safer work environments.

Key Features of the 'VR Safety Training System 3-Axis VR Simulator'

① A motion platform that synchronizes physical stimuli (tilting, shaking, impact) with VR visuals from a head-mounted display (HMD), delivering a highly immersive experience

② The 3-axis VR simulator includes a safety guard to prevent user falls, eliminating the need for multiple staff to assist during operation

③ The simulator is modular and designed to fit through standard elevator and doorway openings (900mm–1,200mm wide), enabling easy transport via cage carts

④ Training content is based on historical accident data, realistically recreating victims' psychological states and accident scenarios. Approximately 50 types of scenarios—including falls, fires, electric shocks, and slips—are available, with about 40 compatible with the 3-axis VR simulator
