Hazard Identification Training and Assessment Using Virtual Reality
VR Training & Assessment
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.
The VR Construction Hazard ID Assessment is a major title in the ITI VR Industrial Skills Library which is delivered through VR Headsets any place your people are! The practical assessment can be administered by nearly anyone and covers 10 risk domains.
10 Risk Domains Assessed
| 1. Hand Tools 2. Lifting and Rigging 3. Electrical and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) 4. Environmental Hazards 5. Confined Space and Hot Work |
6. Mobile Equipment and Personnel Interface (MEPI) and Excavations 7. Dropped Object Prevention/Protection 8. Fall Prevention/Protection 9. Scaffolding 10. Industrial Hygiene* |
*This may include items such as silica dust and noise.
Development & Hardware
In a January survey conducted by ITI, with 184 respondents, 67% of all respondents said that their organization would likely rely on construction safety identification training based on a VR exam, and 75% of managers and owners saw a positive benefit.
Construction Hazard ID is compatible with the following VR Headsets and Hand Controllers:
- HTC Vive Focus Plus & Vive Focus 3
- Oculus Quest 1 & Quest 2
- Oculus Rift & Rift-S
- Oculus Go
Use Cases
The 30-minute training module has the learner navigate various construction areas containing hazards, marking any hazards he/she identifies. Before the learner leaves an area, the program will review the hazards present in the area and analyze if any were missed or misidentified. The learner will be shown what should be identified, and what may have been misidentified as a hazard.
