In this paper, as the main purpose of production safety, security skills training and improve the efficiency of mine operations discusses the importance of computer virtual reality technology to build coal mine safety training and education system, and describes the key technologies of virtual reality. By use 3D MAX modeling, textures and rendering, Virtools DEV, developing interactive education system. Through voice, text, images, 3D roaming and other forms to show the consequences of unsafe behavior in the process of coal production. The system has been put into use, greatly improving the quality of coal mine safety training and obtain a good training results.
