Hull-based SHE Knows, which also has an office in Grimsby, was founded in 2003, and now has 15 staff with a turnover of over £1m.

The company will launch its Mission Room training system, which it claims is “a world first”, at the Safety & Health Expo in Birmingham next month. The system uses 360 degree images, video and sound to create “a fully interactive and dynamic training environment”.

Developed by Aims Solutions, the Mission Room can be erected and taken down on a customer’s site in a day.

Managing director Linda Crossland-Clarke said: “There’s an endless list of industries that this is suitable for, especially those with multiple sites with generic training applications, which can be done all in one go inside the room.

“It allows users to experience instantly many real world hazardous sites in total safety and makes them feel as if they are actually standing on-site, giving them the chance to learn all the time, look around, navigate and interact.”

She added: “We are the only private health and safety company anywhere to have invested in the Mission Room.”

As well as its work in construction and mining, SHE Knows is active in other UK and international sectors of business and industry, including energy, marine and petrochemicals.
