외국인 건설노동자의 산업재해 저감을 위한 VR을 활용한 교육콘텐츠 개발에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study aimed to propose effective safety educational methods, including measures to address language issues in safety education for foreign workers, based on a literature analysis. To achieve this, first, we provided an overview and theoretical review of virtual reality (VR). Second, we conducted a review of the literature on VR-based safety education content to obtain insights. Third, we analyzed various cases of VR-based safety education content and identified their limitations and areas for improvement. Findings indicate the following: First, development of more immersive VR content specifically designed for foreign workers, including content that caters to a diverse range of nationalities, is necessary. Second, creating VR environments that resemble real working conditions is essential to establish effective and engaging safety education. Third, realistic scenario designs relevant to safety education need to be developed. Fourth, the development of digital human content that stimulates curiosity is necessary. Research on the development of digital-based emotional sharing programs, their application to foreign workers, and strategies for dissemination through collaboration with construction and industrial companies will be essential in the future.
