The ability of workers to recognize and manage construction hazards is essential for effective safety management. However, studies have unanimously demonstrated that a large proportion of construction hazards remain unrecognized in dynamic work environments. Such poor hazard recognition levels have been partly attributed to the pervasive use of unengaging and ineffective training practices within construction. To improve training effectiveness, recent efforts have focused on assessing the learning needs of particular workers, and customizing training experiences accordingly to maximize training outcomes. This paper builds upon the previous research by developing an immersive safety training environment that provide a more effective personalized training experience for workers. After development, the degree of realism and immersive experience offered by the training environment was measured and found to be 73% of the real environment. The findings of this study will be useful to practicing professionals seeking to improve training efforts are safety training outcomes.
