About ITI VR Construction Hazard ID:

Construction hazards are plentiful, as are the training programs that address them like OSHA-10, online courses, and various internal safety courses. Practical, immersive assessment of these hazards has not been available until now.

This assessment was developed in collaboration with several organizations including Bechtel, DPR Construction, United Rentals Trench Safety, Liberty Mutual and others. It is intended to be used to provide a standardized qualification exam at the end of a construction safety course. The practical assessment can be administered by nearly anyone and covers the following -

10 Risk Domains Assessed

- Hand Tools
- Lifting & Rigging
- Electrical Safety & Lock-Out/Tag-Out
- Environmental & Industrial Hygiene
- Confined Space & Hot Work
- Mobile Equipment and Personnel Interface (MEPI), Excavation & Trenching
- Dropped Objects
- Fall Prevention
- Scaffolding
- Silica
