Hyundai Engineering & Construction announced on the 29th that it held a reopening ceremony for the Safety Culture Experience Center at the Hyundai Engineering & Construction Technical Training Institute located in Daerim-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul.

Since its first opening in 2018, the Hyundai Engineering & Construction Safety Culture Experience Center has provided various construction safety experience opportunities to over 6,000 employees, partners, and workers.

However, as the need to raise safety awareness has recently increased, Hyundai Engineering & Construction undertook a renewal to secure an industry-leading safety and health education environment by segmenting educational programs and applying advanced smart equipment to the experience facilities.

First, the experience center's area was expanded from the existing 450㎡ to 850㎡, and more than 50 types of experience programs are operated. Additionally, a "Smart & Safety" extended reality (XR) zone combining virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) was established to vividly recreate construction sites. The sense of presence is maximized through AR equipment safety, 4D VR cube, and multi-simultaneous VR, and experience opportunities using HMD devices are also provided.

Participants can thoroughly learn about accident cases and inspection methods for 26 construction equipment items that are usually difficult to access, indirectly experience hazards implemented in virtual spaces, and acquire the ability to respond to crisis situations. Hyundai Engineering & Construction plans to gradually expand the application of VR experience training centers to the field so that workers can receive vivid safety education even at their workplaces.

A Hyundai Engineering & Construction official said, “We will do our best to make this an educational space that continuously contributes to the prevention of industrial accidents and regional development.”
