In order to improve the safety management level of coal mine enterprises and for the safety training of employees, a coal mine safety training system based on virtual reality and cooperative work technology is built. Firstly, the virtual reality technology and the computer supported collaborative work technology are analyzed. Secondly, a technology integration is adopted based on the request of safety training. Then, the structure of the training system is designed, the virtual training scene of the coal mine is constructed, and the expert knowledge base of the safety training is established. Finally, the system is incorporated in the network environment. The feedback shows that the system is attractive and can brought into play the initiative of all the staff and workers. The training result is better by using the cooperative work in the virtual environment than by the traditional teaching in the classes.
