USING VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY FOR TRAINING FOR HEALTHY AND SAFE WORK

Abstract

Training for healthy and safe work, in addition to being a legal obligation for employers, is the foundation of preventive action in the field of occupational safety and health. In modern industrial systems, there is a need to expedite the process of training for healthy and safe work while maintaining the quality of training. To improve the quality of training for healthy and safe work, it is necessary to introduce advanced technologies into the training process. Currently, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies are the most developed, making them the most suitable for integration into the training process for healthy and safe work. This paper explores the possibilities of using VR and AR technology for the purpose of training employees for healthy and safe work. The paper provides an overview of scientific and practical advancements in these technologies for training in healthy and safe work. Examples and case studies are presented, showcasing different software and hardware solutions, demonstrating various applications of VR and AR technologies in training for healthy and safe work. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate how advanced technologies can enhance employee training for healthy and safe work, ultimately improving job skills. The advantages and limitations of implementing these technologies in training for healthy and safe work are discussed, and a model for integrating VR and AR technology into existing training methodologies is proposed.
