Research to improve construction jobsite safety

School of Architecture

Ryan Ahn, associate professor of construction science, is looking to improve jobsite safety by developing a research-based, virtual reality training environment to reduce workers’ underestimation of jobsite hazards. This project will generate new knowledge regarding how a VR-enabled safety training environment can effectively interrupt workers’ habituated behaviors, transforming current injury prevention strategies from a knowledge transfer-focused safety training model to a behavior-focused, …
