Establishment of Virtual-Reality-Based Safety Education and Training System for Safety Engagement

“…It can also be defined as an educational activity that enhances the knowledge and cognitive abilities required by workers to perform their work safely in the workplace, the skills required to act in compliance with safety, and the formation of safety consciousness and values [29]. In the field of VR-based occupational safety education research, safety education is defined as learning how to actively respond to potential risks through continuous education to induce safety behaviors of workers and reduce the likelihood of accidents and hazards [22][23][24][25]. Safety education is directly related to the survival of workers.…”

“…We examined various learning models for VR-based safety education described in previous studies. There are prior studies that try to provide VR-technology-based education and training by mixing pedagogical theory and immersion theory [21][22][23][24]. In this study, simulations and applications using immersive technology were built and designed so that users can experience the risks of real work in the virtual world and learn new skills [21].…”

“…Research related to VR-based safety education and training has also been conducted in the field of evacuation simulation development research, such as marine safety training and fire safety training [9,11]. Recently, industrial field education based on virtual reality has been studied in various industries such as the manufacturing and automobile industry [20][21][22][23][24]. A mobile platform was developed that uses a smartphone device as a digital education tool by adding virtual reality application Android technology to the existing VR-based technology to educate workers using digital technology [21].…”

“…In addition, research on VR-based education is being conducted in the field of technical education in the industrial field based on immersion [24].…”

“…The effectiveness of experiential safety education and training reflecting risks in construction sites is being proven. According to previous studies, it was confirmed that providing education that reflects on-site risks based on virtual reality during experiential safety education and training has a positive effect on the induction of workers' safety behavior and organizational safety achievement [17][18][19]24,25]. In the construction industry, automobile industry, manufacturing industry, as well as various industrial sites, it is necessary to provide an education and training environment where workers can focus on safety by improving their safety awareness and behavior without being directly exposed to dangerous situations.…”
