Abstract

As occupational accidents usually occur due to unsafe human behaviors in the construction industry, safety training is inevitably necessary for site personnel. On construction sites, various training methods including traditional and innovative ones, have been adopted to prevent accidents. In recent years, virtual safety training has been more prevalent because of providing highly engaging practice in a risk-free environment. Although these training tools have innumerable advantages in providing safety knowledge and awareness, they can be further improved. This study introduces a virtual safety training tool, V-SAFE.v2, to provide a more reliable and effective safety training for high-risk construction works. V-SAFE.v2 consists of three main modules; i) Training Module, ii) Testing Module 1, and iii) Testing Module 2. These modules are generated firstly to provide safety training for scaffolding and formwork activities and then to evaluate the safety performance of the trainees. An experiment was conducted with fifteen construction workers and ten engineers to measure the effectiveness of the training tool. The findings showed that V-SAFE.v2 is a reliable safety training tool for high-risk construction tasks as it supports collaboration, provides individual feedback, and repeatable practice. Also, the participants stated that V-SAFE.v2 has a great potential to reduce the falling from height accidents in the construction workplaces.

开发脚手架和模板活动的虚拟安全培训工具
由于建筑行业的职业事故往往是由不安全的人类行为引起的,因此对现场人员进行安全培训是不可避免的。在施工现场,采取了包括传统和创新在内的各种培训方法,以防止事故的发生。近年来,由于在无风险的环境中提供高度参与的实践,虚拟安全培训变得更加普遍。虽然这些培训工具在提供安全知识和意识方面有无数的优势,但它们可以进一步改进。本研究介绍了虚拟安全培训工具V-SAFE。V2,为高风险建筑工程提供更可靠及有效的安全训练。v安全。V2主要由三个模块组成;i)培训模块,ii)测试模块1,iii)测试模块2。这些模块首先为脚手架和模板活动提供安全培训,然后评估学员的安全表现。我们对15名建筑工人和10名工程师进行了实验,以衡量培训工具的有效性。研究结果表明,V-SAFE。V2是一个可靠的高风险施工任务的安全培训工具,因为它支持协作,提供个人反馈和可重复的实践。此外,与会者表示,V-SAFE。V2在减少建筑作业场所的高空坠落事故方面具有很大的潜力。

期刊介绍: The scope of Teknik Dergi is naturally confined with the subjects falling in the area of civil engineering. However, the area of civil engineering has recently been significantly enlarged, even the definition of civil engineering has somewhat changed. Half a century ago, engineering was simply defined as “the art of using and converting the natural resources for the benefit of the mankind”. Today, the same objective is expected to be realised (i) by complying with the desire and expectations of the people concerned and (ii) without wasting the resources and within the sustainability principles. This change has required an interaction between engineering and social and administrative sciences. Some subjects at the borderline between civil engineering and social and administrative sciences have consequently been included in the area of civil engineering. Teknik Dergi defines its scope in line with this understanding. However, it requires the papers falling in the borderline to have a significant component of civil engineering.
