A Conversation on
Smarter Safety Inspections

Can AI help — or are we solving the wrong problem?

Join VIRSAT’s experts for a practical, experience-driven discussion on how inspections are evolving — and why many still fail to prevent incidents.

Session Dates:

7 May | 10:00 (Amsterdam) / 12:00 (Dubai) / 03:00 (Houston)
21 May | 15:30 (Amsterdam) / 17:00 (Dubai) / 08:30 (Houston)

Before you register, ask yourself:

  • Are your inspections actually reducing risk, or just recording it?
  • Do different inspectors interpret the same standard differently?
  • Are findings consistently turned into action?
  • Are you learning from inspections, or repeating them?
  • Could AI improve your process, or just add complexity?

If any of these feel familiar,
this session is for you.

What This Webinar Really Is

This is not a scripted webinar.

It’s a conversation between experts who have:

Expert investigating real incidents on site

Investigated
Real Incidents

Building safety systems in industrial environments

Built Safety Systems in
High-Risk Industries

Reviewing what works and what does not in practice

Seen what works, and
what doesn’t — in practice

Followed by an open Q&A session where your
challenges can be discussed directly.

What You’ll Take Away

  • A clearer understanding of why inspections fall short
  • Practical ways to improve:
  • What you inspect
  • How you inspect
  • How you act on results
  • Insight into common failure points:
  • Time pressure
  • Experience gaps
  • Interpretation differences
  • Behavioural shortcuts
  • A grounded view of where AI adds value (and where it doesn’t)
  • Ideas to improve training and consistency across teams

Built on Experience. Driven by Innovation.

VIRSAT (Virtual Reality Safety Training) was founded by three industry professionals — Willem Peuscher, Dick Nijen Twilhaar, and Bassam Alkassar — who share a common goal: improving safety outcomes through better learning and smarter systems.

With extensive experience in global oil and gas operations, the founders have:

  • Investigated real-life fatal incidents
  • Analysed root causes and systemic failures
  • Contributed to improving safety performance in major organisations

This experience led to a clear insight:

Traditional training and inspection methods don’t always change behaviour.

VIRSAT was created to address this — using immersive technology, practical frameworks, and real-world insight to support safer operations.

Why This Conversation Matters

Most inspections are completed.

Few are truly effective.

Findings are recorded but not acted on

Findings are recorded, but
not acted on

Standards exist but are interpreted differently

Standards exist,
but are interpreted differently

Risks evolve but inspections remain static

Risks evolve,
but inspections remain static

That’s where incidents begin.

Better inspections don’t start with more checklists.

They start with better thinking.
