Area of Science:

  • Occupational Safety and Health
  • Construction Management
  • Human Factors Engineering

Background:

  • Human error is a leading cause of construction incidents, highlighting the need for improved safety training.
  • Current safety training in the US construction industry falls short of industry expectations.
  • Electrical hazards pose significant risks due to their inherent invisibility and danger.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current state of safety training in the US construction industry.
  • To develop and demonstrate a virtual reality (VR)-based safety training program.
  • To enhance workers' ability to recognize and intervene in electrical hazards.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review of current safety training practices in the US construction sector.
  • Development of a VR simulation training program focused on electrical hazards.
  • Evaluation of the VR program's effectiveness in a simulated work environment.

Main Results:

  • A significant gap exists between current safety training standards and industry expectations.
  • The developed VR training program provides a safe environment for practicing electrical hazard scenarios.
  • Users demonstrated improved cognition and intervention skills for electrical hazards after VR training.

Conclusions:

  • VR-based safety training offers a viable solution to bridge the gap in construction safety training.
  • The VR program effectively mitigates training challenges associated with electrical hazards.
  • Implementing VR simulation can significantly improve safety outcomes in the construction industry.
