The award, presented by Mark Hartley, CTO Engineering Director, relates to a training package that is currently being delivered across the Cape business based upon the innovative concept of utilising 360-degree virtual reality technology to allow operatives to experience the real hazards of an actual site for themselves whilst remaining in the hazard-free environment of a training facility.

Cape UK MD Simon Hicks commented:

'We are delighted to receive this award. We truly believe this technology has a massive part to play in our relentless pursuit of excellence, so to receive such endorsement will give the whole Cape team a boost and assist both Cape and EDF Energy in our continuous journey towards achieving Zero Harm.'
