This study aims to develop a Virtual Reality (VR) application utilizing the MileaLab platform as an innovative learning medium for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) education in vocational settings. The research employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the Plomp model, which consists of three main phases: preliminary research, prototyping, and assessment. The developed product is evaluated in terms of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. Expert validation results indicate that the VR application falls within the valid to highly valid category, with an average score of 3.56, demonstrating its feasibility as a learning medium. Furthermore, student responses (n = 43) reveal a high level of acceptance, with the majority of respondents expressing positive perceptions regarding usability, interactivity, and its contribution to improving learning readiness, conceptual understanding, and engagement. The immersive and interactive nature of the VR application enables students to experience realistic simulations of workplace hazards and safety procedures in a safe and controlled environment, thereby enhancing practical competencies and safety awareness. Despite these positive outcomes, several aspects require improvement, particularly in user interaction design, instructional clarity, and the expansion of simulation scenarios. Overall, the integration of VR technology through MileaLab represents a promising approach to transforming conventional OHS learning into a more experiential, engaging, and industry-relevant learning process in vocational education.
