Experiencing Suffocation in Confined Spaces, Falls, and Crushing Accidents Through Virtual Reality

Busan Urban Corporation (BMC, President Shin Changho) conducted "VR Content-Based Safety Experience Training" for 50 employees in the auditorium on the 12th floor of the corporation's building on May 8.


The purpose of this training was to enhance employees' safety awareness and strengthen their on-site response capabilities by allowing them to directly experience various safety accidents that can occur at construction sites through virtual reality.


This training was carried out as part of the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency's "Mobile VR Program" and operated in an experiential format using VR equipment. Participants experienced key accident scenarios in the construction industry through virtual reality, including: ▲suffocation incidents that may occur during confined space work, ▲safety guidelines before commencing work, ▲fall accidents during formwork operations, and ▲crushing accidents involving excavators.


In addition, the training also covered risk assessment procedures and methods for analyzing risk factors, with a focus on enhancing on-site safety management capabilities.


Busan Urban Corporation expects that hands-on training based on real accident scenarios will help raise employees' safety awareness and strengthen their field-oriented safety management skills.



Shin Changho, President of Busan Urban Corporation, stated, "Since safety must be practiced on-site, experience-based training is essential. We will continue to expand various safety education programs utilizing smart technologies such as VR to further strengthen employees' disaster response abilities and safety management skills."
