By immersing trainees in a realistic, interactive environment, they cannavigate various scenarios and make decisions in a risk-free setting. However, the application ofVR in the construction industry is still in its early stages, and researchers are working to integratethese technologies into safety training modules. Integrating VR into OSHA training modulesrequires a meticulous approach. It involves creating realistic, data-driven scenarios that adhere toOSHA guidelines and provide a comprehensive, immersive experience that closely mirrors real-world conditions. By exploring and integrating VR technologies into OSHA training modules,we can
