The size of the multi-purpose hall and the fact that most of its equipment is mobile mean it can be used for a multitude of purposes. It can be set up to reflect the conditions of a real production facility and used to simulate accident hazards and protective measures when storing and transporting both small and large goods on company premises. The ceiling is high enough to demonstrate the hazards of working at heights and which safety measures are necessary.
The facility is also used as a seminar room when extra space is needed, e.g. if a ‘learning workshop’ is set up with several workstations so that participants can work hands-on. The hall is also suitable for conferences and exhibitions.
