Rock Scaling (Underground)

The training experience

Practice spotting roof-fall hazards underground in VR. The assessment starts underground, in a room with the foreman, who gives you the work permit. Then you take the rock scaling tool and go out. As you proceed to your work site, you must find any loose rocks or fall hazards along the way. When you find one, you must use your rock tool to remove the hazard or ask your co-worker for help. If you find a hazard that you cannot remove yourself, barricade the tunnel. And report the hazard to the foreman. When you get to the rock face of the tunnel, you will look for hazards with your headlamp because there is no light in the blasting area. In training and exam mode, the hazards are randomized to create a unique learning experience for the student.
