Abstract
Industry and services have a growing interest in prevention through design with regard to safety of machinery to avoid redesign after construction. A VR planning model of a future river lock has been developed and investigated for risk assessment support. Inspections using the model in 1:1 scale promoted safety analyses of the operational concept, identified hazards and planning flaws, and triggered measures for reducing risks of the future lock. VR simulation contributed to occupational safety and health early in machinery design while saving effort and time.
