Focus on hygiene

Hygiene training that carries over into daily work

Hygiene mistakes rarely come from a lack of knowledge – they come from routine and time pressure. In VR training, participants apply hygiene rules in realistic situations until the right actions become second nature.

Do not forget the follow-up instruction

Hygiene training is voluntary and worthwhile. The follow-up instruction under § 43 (4) IfSG is a legal duty: every two years, for every person, and the proof must be available at the site. It runs on the same headsets that are already with you. We unlock the module, your team does the rest.

Why VR

From knowing to doing it right

Traditional hygiene instruction teaches rules – usually through a talk or a leaflet. Whether these rules are actually applied in the rush at the counter, in the bakehouse or on the ward is another matter.

In VR training, participants find themselves in the middle of typical work situations. They make decisions, spot mistakes and practise the correct routines. This builds an understanding that lasts longer than a signed leaflet.

  • Active practice instead of passive listening
  • One standard for all locations and shifts
  • Repeatable – ideal for regular refreshers
  • Documented proof with certificate

Certificates

A certificate that documents what was learned

On successful completion, participants receive a certificate naming the module, its version and the date. This makes learning success verifiable, for the training company, for job applications and during inspections.

  • Proof of participation and learning success
  • Valuable for training and job applications
  • Documentation for businesses, audits and inspections
