Area of Science:

  • Occupational Safety and Health
  • Human Factors Engineering
  • Virtual Reality Applications

Background:

  • Work at heights presents significant occupational risks, with falls causing numerous fatalities in construction and industrial maintenance.
  • Traditional safety training may not adequately prepare workers for the complexities of real-world hazardous environments.
  • Immersive virtual reality (IVR) offers a controlled, realistic simulation environment for enhanced safety training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of IVR in improving practical skills for working at heights.
  • To assess IVR's impact on safety perception and physiological responses during high-risk training.
  • To generate hypotheses regarding IVR's role in occupational safety training.

Main Methods:

  • A controlled trial comparing an IVR intervention group with a standard instruction control group.
  • Recruitment of first-time trainees from the National Learning Service (SENA) in Colombia.
  • Measurement of practical skills, ergonomic risk, cognitive performance, and heart rate variability using validated tools.

Main Results:

  • The study aims to provide evidence on the comparative effectiveness of IVR versus conventional training methods.
  • Analysis will utilize repeated-measures ANOVA and regression models to compare outcomes between groups.
  • Results will integrate practical, cognitive, ergonomic, and physiological data.

Conclusions:

  • IVR may offer a superior approach to conventional methods for work-at-height safety training.
  • Findings could guide the development of improved occupational safety training strategies.
  • This research contributes to understanding the potential of immersive technologies in high-risk industries.
