People know what safe looks like. They’ve seen the diagrams, watched the videos. But in the pressure of the moment, on the warehouse floor, behind the bar, or during a delivery run, those reminders fade fast. Behaviour reverts to habit. And risk returns.

Industries like retail, logistics, manufacturing, and hospitality face high injury rates, rising insurance costs, and the costs of avoidable downtime. Tick-box training won’t fix that, but we have a solution that can.

In partnership with Provention, we created First Move VR: an immersive manual handling experience that is designed to change behaviour for real and at scale.

What Makes First Move VR Different?

It’s active, not passive.
Learners engage physically in an immersive, interactive environment. They don’t just watch; they do.

It fits the flow of work.
Delivered in bite-sized modules, First Move VR is designed to fit around shifts, rosters, and operational demands, without pulling whole teams off the floor.

It sticks.
Ensures correct manual handling mindsets, movements and behaviours stick and are embedded into day-to-day work.

It transforms culture.
More than just a training tool, First Move VR reinforces to employees that their wellbeing and safety really matter.

From Risk To Readiness

Work-related Musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) remain among the most common and costly injuries in frontline workforces. A key reason for this persistent issue is the disconnect between traditional training methods and the way people actually learn and change behaviour.

Readiness means equipping frontline employees with the confidence and physical awareness to move safely and effectively, no matter the task. Whether lifting stock, resetting displays, or manoeuvring trolleys in tight spaces, it's about developing the capability to respond in real-world conditions.

The First Move VR programme is structured around four targeted modules, each designed to address a key component of safe movement and manual handling.

Module 1: Shoulders focuses on building awareness of upper body mechanics, helping learners identify and reduce strain caused by overreaching or poor shoulder positioning.

Module 2: Twisting trains employees to recognise and avoid unsafe rotational movements, particularly when under load, which is one of the most common causes of lower back injuries.

Module 3: Moving with balance, learners practice core stability and coordinated movement, essential for maintaining control in dynamic work environments.

Module 4: Lifting reinforces correct lifting techniques through repeated, guided practice, enabling learners to build safe habits for a range of lifting tasks.
