ABSTRACT: In the surface mining industry, the cost of workplace
accidents is high.  One of the most important tools for on-the-job
accident prevention is safety training. Two areas of safety training are
the pre-operational vehicle inspections and driver training.  Training
operators to correctly inspect and operate vehicles is costly and time
consuming in both equipment availability and man-hours. This paper
outlines the motivation for and the development of alternative training
methods using virtual reality~(VR).  Two training tools developed at the
University of Nevada are the Mine Vehicle Inspection Simulator (MVIS)
and the Mine Vehicle Driving Simulator (MVDS).  This paper provides a
description of these tools as well as future product enhancements.
