VR allows employees to learn and train within a safe environment, where they can fail fast and learn quickly without impacting real world development. Remote training using VR also removes the risk of injury for untrained employees working in otherwise dangerous environments, such as construction sites or factories.

Similarly expensive stock or vehicles can be recreated accurately within VR, allowing the real world counterpart to continue to operate and generate revenues rather than sitting in a maintenance/training yard e.g. new train carriages for rolling stock.
