A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.

Why?
Be a game-changer in the way training of personnel for hazard recognition and mitigation is done. This should facilitate a major step in having more effective safety training to reduce the number of fatal and non fatal injuries.
How?
Creating a virtual gas well and realistic scenarios in a 3D gaming engine (UNREAL), and to play scenarios with operational personnel.
When?
By 2018, all safety-critical industries are expected to involve gaming technology in training awareness and response.
