Modern training methods and technique in the field of occupational safety – a literature review

Abstract

The growing diversity of the workforce and the changing context of employment in the world present significant challenges for developing and implementing occupational safety and health training. New approaches to content development, format, and implementation need to be developed, as traditional training methods are often not effective with workers or do not account for changes in employment patterns and the way work is organized today. This paper reviews modern training methods from computer games to virtual reality, as found in the specialized literature published in the last 10 years. The article presents the results of a state of art literature review realized with the new version of PRISMA methodology, for systematic reviews, as a part of National Institute for Research and Development for Occupational Safety INCDPM Alexandru Darabont ongoing project "Development of informative content and online training system of occupational safety and health information in the context of intelligent specialization".
