【Sea and River Safety Discussion】Using technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) for safety training

Thread Content

Recently, a unique “immersive” safety education session was held at the newly built safety education experience center of Shaanxi Huajian Engineering Co., Ltd. Participants use technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) for training, thereby experiencing the various hazards at the work site through immersive and virtual simulations, which enhances their safety awareness and improves the effectiveness of the training. 　　It is understood that this training focuses on menu-based course instruction as its main content, with interactive experiences as its primary format. The experience center features six different areas: ones for traffic safety and public safety experiences, construction project safety experiences, fire safety experiences, and first aid safety experiences. The experience programs include over 40 different scenarios such as falls from heights, impacts by objects, work in steel structure ducts, operations in confined spaces, removing or installing blind flanges, work with truck cranes and crawler cranes, and electric shock injuries. 　　Through VR technology, this training transforms the traditional \"didactic\" approach to education into an \"experiential\" one, simulating safety accidents in real-world scenarios as closely as possible so that participants can experience the consequences of such accidents firsthand. By using methods such as watching videos, hands-on activities, and knowledge quizzes, it combines educational value, entertainment, and interactivity to teach emergency safety knowledge as well as skills such as escape techniques, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the Heimlich maneuver in an easy-to-understand manner, thereby further enhancing everyone’s awareness of emergency safety and their ability to handle emergencies.
