The Applications of VR-AR Technologies in Construction Safety Training

Jon Seagers
The construction industry has some of the highest incident and fatality rates among all industries and makes up almost 5% of the American workforce and a similar figure in other countries. This means around 5% of the world's working population is at risk and current safety training methods have not shown signs of improving the incident and fatality rates. Virtual and augmented reality training is a new, immersive way to train and assess at-risk workers.
