Safety Starts in Simulation: How Evonik and SkillsUpp Bridge the Gap Between Training and Real-Life Performance
When a patient’s life is on the line, every second and every action counts. The same principle applies in the chemical industry, where a small deviation from protocol can have life-threatening consequences. This parallel forms the foundation of an unexpected yet powerful collaboration between healthcare education and heavy industry. During this year’s Asset Performance Conference, Werner Van Acker (Technical Governance Manager at Evonik), Geert Van de Weyer, and dr. Deborah Hilderson (researchers at Karel de Grote University College) will present their joint project: SkillsUpp, a simulation-based training and evaluation method that is reshaping safety culture at the chemical giant.
