Implication

Mixed-methods approach shows improvement in skill and safety metrics in construction workers, indicating effectiveness of VR training.

Key Points

  • The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality training on skill development and safety in the construction industry.
  • Mixed-methods approach combining surveys and observational data
  • 120 construction workers participated in VR training
  • Training modules included site safety, material handling, and scaffolding techniques
  • Pre- and post-training assessments measured skill and safety performance
  • Significant improvement in worker proficiency scores (25% increase, p < 0.01)
  • 30% reduction in workplace accidents within six months post-training
