• Description:
  Simulation-based training methods have proven effective in addressing the top three Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations (fall protection in construction, respiratory protection in general industry, and ladder violations in construction, respectively; Occupational Safety and Health Administration [OSHA], 2023). Simulation can increase the efficacy of current training practices, which may reduce preventable injury and fatality rates (Rey-Becerra et al., 2021). Given its relevance and high degree of engagement, simulation may be the ideal training method to enhance occupational health and safety, especially when integrated into promotional programs (Chan et al., 2021), and this may also apply to total worker health (TWH). Simulation can be procedural or immersive (Liang et al., 2019), both of which can occur in in-class environments or in the workplace (Radhakrishnan et al., 2021). In addition to decreasing factors that could lead to psychological and physical injury, simulation-based training has improved outcomes in worker reaction time, self-efficacy, situational awareness, preparedness level, confidence, and competency (Chan et al., 2021).
