Abstract

Construction industries represent the worst industries regarding injury and fatality statistics due to security and health issues. In this field, if not performed correctly, the tasks have risk of causing work related pains or cause death. Currently training sessions are available to train construction workers and are based on two different workshops: Theoretical and practical sessions. However, the risk of injury is still present in the current practical sessions. Therefore, virtual reality might offer a risk free training and raise awareness of health and safety issues amongst construction workers on the workfield. In this paper, we describe the application developed to train construction workers on the operating mode of a formwork panel and the stabilization task in particular and the tests conducted with various Bouygues Construction experts. First results showed that the application was conclusive and cost efficient. In addition the employees assessed the application as innovative, relevant and useful. In conclusion, virtual reality could be of added value in the training process to reduce safety and health issues in the construction industry.

建筑工人虚拟现实模拟器

由于安全和健康问题，建筑行业在伤害和死亡统计方面是最糟糕的行业。在这个领域，如果执行不当，任务有可能造成与工作相关的疼痛或导致死亡。目前，培训建筑工人的培训课程基于两个不同的讲习班:理论和实践课程。然而，在目前的训练中，受伤的风险仍然存在。因此，虚拟现实可以提供无风险的培训，并提高建筑工人对工作场所健康和安全问题的认识。在本文中，我们描述了开发的应用程序，以培训建筑工人对模板面板的操作模式，特别是稳定任务，并与各种布依格建筑专家进行了测试。初步结果表明，该应用具有结论性和成本效益。此外，员工们评估了该应用程序的创新性、相关性和实用性。最后，虚拟现实可以在培训过程中增加价值，以减少建筑行业的安全和健康问题。
