“…Many eye-tracking indicators are calculated based on AOIs, and the robustness of AOI-based indicators is vulnerable to the AOI definitions’ accuracy ( Bonikowski et al, 2021 ). In eye-tracking studies of construction safety, AOIs are usually various hazards included in the stimulus materials ( Han et al, 2020 ; Comu et al, 2021 ). Determination of AOIs usually needs experienced specialists in the subject matter to examine a scene and identify which regions reflect potential hazards to which participants should allocate attention, to maintain situational awareness throughout the scenario ( Jeelani et al, 2019 ; Cheng et al, 2021 ; Park et al, 2022 ).…”

“…The fixation time highlights the speed of information processing and decision-making ( Sun et al, 2020 ). It indicates the concentration level for an AOI and the difficulty degree of tasks ( Comu et al, 2021 ). Therefore, a long fixation time demonstrates that the participant is either attracted to a hazard or confronted by an obstruction in a certain area.…”

“…It can be used to reveal which hazards captured workers’ attention more quickly than others ( Hasanzadeh et al, 2017b , 2018 ). Comu et al (2021) compared two types of construction safety training methods. In their studies, time to first fixation is applied to assess the adaptation of the participants to the training contents.…”

“…For example, Liu et al (2021) used a t -test to assess the differences in hazard recognition performance between the construction workers with and without semantic cues. Comu et al (2021) used analysis of variance to investigate the interaction between construction worker group type and safety training methods. However, these parametric tests usually have strict testing criteria for the sample data, such as normal distribution, a random sample from a population, and quality of variances.…”

“…More distinct hazards and a tidy site reduce construction workers’ cognitive loads and improve their performance in hazard recognition, while site brightness has positive and negative effects. Construction workers’ personal attributes, such as work experience ( Dzeng et al, 2016 ; Comu et al, 2021 ), personalities ( Hasanzadeh et al, 2019 ), fatigue level ( Li et al, 2019 ), safety knowledge ( Park et al, 2022 ), etc., also significant affect their hazard recognition performance. In addition, it is found that successful hazard recognitions have similar visual search patterns ( Xu et al, 2019 ).…”

Safety is the most important concern in the construction industry, and construction workers’ attention allocation is closely associated with their hazard recognition and safety behaviors. The recent emergence of eye-tracking techniques allows researchers in construction safety to further investigate construction workers’ visual attention allocation during hazard recognition. The existing eye-tracking studies in construction safety need to be comprehensively understood, to provide practical suggestions for future research and on-site safety management. This study aims to summarize previous studies on the application of eye-tracking techniques to the construction safety context through a systematic literature review. The literature search and study selection process included 22 eligible studies. Content analysis was then carried out from participant selection, device selection, task design, area of interest determination, feature extraction, data analysis, and main findings. Major limitations of the existing studies are identified, and recommendations for future research in theoretical development, experiment improvement, and data analysis method advancement are proposed to address these limitations. Even though the application of eye-tracking techniques in construction safety research is still in its early stage, it is worth future continuous attention because relevant discoveries would be of great significance to hazard control and safety management in the construction industry.

The commercial release of affordable, low-cost, and consumer-ready virtual reality (VR) devices has increased the accessibility for researchers to investigate the benefits of VR technology including those aimed at education and training. VR technology provides several opportunities that may provide benefits over traditional training methods, this is particularly relevant for safety training due to its ability to safely simulate dangerous scenarios that would otherwise be difficult to access. When implementing a new technology, it is important to evaluate and validate its effectiveness. This paper presents a systematic review of VR safety-relevant training studies that perform an evaluation of their effectiveness. This comprehensive review includes 136 studies published between 2016 and August 2021. Results presented in this paper include application domains, study objectives, study designs, and evaluation measures. Results show that the majority of studies were applicable to health services with the majority focusing on effectiveness evaluation using true- or quasi-experimental design. This study then categorizes each reported evaluation measure into one of the four levels in Kirkpatrick’s model for training evaluation, results showed that the majority of studies evaluated learning (72.06%) and reaction (66.18%) levels with very few studies evaluating behavior and results levels. This study concludes by providing insights and recommendations to help future researchers make informed decisions when designing an effectiveness evaluation study for VR safety-relevant training applications.
