Abstract
The aim of this research is to summarize the current knowledge regarding the application of augmented reality in occupational safety training programs, particularly in the healthcare sector. Three databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) were searched for articles published between 1992 and 2017 on health and safety training for healthcare professionals, with particular attention to the use of augmented reality; for this purpose, a search string was created. Augmented reality represents a great opportunity in the training of health workers, being able to implement the workers’ knowledge and perception of the risks. It is therefore important to have a multidisciplinary approach that manages the opportunities and risks of these new tools in a well-defined framework, increasingly taking advantage of the former and reducing the latter, to guide health care workers in adopting correct and safe behaviours that favour the reduction of injuries and occupational diseases.
