“…Although many of researcher agreed that Virtual Reality (VR) can provide the best tools for giving the real experience visually in educating people about safety [7][9][10] [12], VR technology required some high-end requirement hardware and software which only researcher who have high budgets can apply this technology in their research [13]. Filigenzi et al [14] highlighted the use of affordable technology.…”

“…As for organizations, only selected people would be sponsored to attend such high cost training. Due to that concern some researchers have explored other methods using technology to improve the delivery of the safety training especially on the usefulness of technology to develop a safety module [7]. With the technology, training becomes more flexible in term of time, cost and experience [8].…”

Construction industry is reportedly the third highest accident occurrence after manufacturing and agriculture. Research have shown that hazard is the major factor that contributes to accident on construction sites. Thus, training on hazard identification is important to construction workers as they need to understand how to identify and act wisely in handling hazards. Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) and National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) through government initiatives provide trainings in order to enhance the knowledge on safety among the construction individuals. Currently, trainings are conducted through lectures, hands-on and video demonstration. However, these approaches can only increase the awareness and theoretical knowledge of the trainee which 70% of the training modules cover the theoretical aspects and the rest is the hands-on. Unfortunately, they are not able to practice the theories that they have learnt. Moreover, the cost of training is high and not all levels of construction workers could afford to attend the training. Gaming approach seems to be an approach that could provide more hands-on training. Unlike the above mentioned conventional approach, the gaming approach allows users to experience and practice a real life scenario within a gaming environment. As well as it is an affordable module, this approach offers flexibility to users in term of time and venues. The purpose of this paper is to address the needs of gaming approach to enhance the hazard identification training, by providing an immersive, real experience and affordable approach to training.

“…These applications include training for medical surgery (Heng et al, 2004;Lu, Pan, Lin, Zhang, & Shi, 2005;Silverstein et al, 2002;Sojar et al, 2004), manufacture (Fernandes, Raja, & Eyre, 2003;Jiung-Yao, 2003;Lin, Ye, Duffy, & Su, 2002), construction (Assfalg, Del Bimbo, & Vicario, 2002), maintenance (Li, Khoo, & Tor, 2003), and military operation. However, this technology has not been actively applied in the field of electric power systems.…”

This article presents a training system for live-line workers. The developed training system is based on immersive virtual reality and automatic speech recognition technology. The training is focused on live-line Cut-Out-Switch (COS) replacement work in a distribution system. Most work in power systems must be free of interruption, so it is carried out by live-line techniques. However, these techniques have increased the number of accidents by electric shock. Because most electric accidents are due to live-line work, it is important to train live-line workers. The proposed training system provides repeated and cost-effective training for a small space. It also guarantees safety during training operations. In this article, the background of live-line techniques and the work procedure of COS replacement are presented. The architecture of the developed system, the creation of the virtual work environment, and the collision detection among virtual objects are also described.

“…Moreover, it is difficult to replicate some troubleshooting and safety scenarios due to safety concerns and limitations of actual systems. Research has shown that more engaging training methods, such as interactive 3D simulators, can reduce accidents and injuries more effectively than passive methods [10,11,12]. Authentic, immersive, emotional experiences within virtual learning environments have been shown to be integral to learning and retention of information, especially for safety training [13].…”

An NSF-ATE project is being developed building upon two previous projects: 1) "Wind Tech TV", a 2010 ATE project which created a library of online training videos for wind turbine maintenance, and 2) "Mixed Reality Simulators for Wind Energy Education", a U.S. Department of Education FIPSE project which produced a series of simulators for wind energy education. The current project is integrating a library of real scenarios with existing simulators to allow students to have hands-on experiences that would otherwise be dangerous or impractical. It includes open-ended questions for students to learn critical thinking and problem solving.An interdisciplinary team including representatives from four community colleges (Kalamazoo Valley, Riverland, Ivy Tech, and Highland), a wind energy company (EDF Renewable), two ATE Centers (CA2VES & AMTEC), and a university research center (CIVS) are collaborating on this project. Some team members have worked together on various projects including the development of a variety of software for wind energy education and technician training. A leadership team consisting of the PIs and representatives from community colleges, industry, and ATE centers is overseeing the development and implementation of the project. Community colleges are leading the curriculum and educational module design and implementation for the simulator. Industry collaborators are advising on the skills needed in industry. CIVS is developing the simulator. Formative assessment throughout the project will enable cyclical improvements. Current status of the development and future plans are discussed.
