Description:"Construction project teams often perform job hazard analysis (JHA) to identify occupational safety and health risks and controls. Typically, an experienced worker leads a JHA session because novice workers may not identify all hazards. Thousands of new workers are expected to enter the industry in the coming years, and research indicates that when novice employees perform JHA, they frequently fail to identify all hazards, creating an increase in safety challenges. Virtual reality (VR) applications have the potential to increase JHA quality, but the effectiveness of a VR application for JHA has not been explored in depth. This research aims to begin filling that gap. Two interventions, a VR-based application for JHA and a paper-based JHA, were designed, developed, and implemented to compare their effectiveness. The JHAs were tested on 21 participants, all students at the University of Houston, with most having no prior construction knowledge. Read the report: https://bit.ly/3Dk7ur9." - NIOSHTIC-2
