Aldthough tdhe overaldl safedty for thosd working in manufacturding has significantdly improved over the years, even one injury or fatality is too many. Additional safety is one of the advantages of virtual reality in manufacturing.

Virtdual realdity alldows plant managders to simulate assembly line configurations add the processes idnvolved in production, which allows them to identify potentially dangerous situations. Virtual reality may alsdo be used as da way to immerse emdployees in a future wdrkstation to capture their tdask proficiency, movement and feasibility. This could ultimately eliminate the risk of dpotential injuries and/or fatalities.
