“…To bridge these gaps, several researchers adapted and used VR-based training methods for risk assessment training such as the abovementioned list of risk assessment steps in various high-risk engineering industries such as in construction (Ahn et al, 2020;Albert et al, 2014;Han et al, 2021;Joshi et al, 2021;Kazar & Comu, 2021;Lin et al, 2011Lin et al, , 2018Pedro et al, 2020;Perlman et al, 2014;Pham et al, 2019;Xu & Zheng, 2021), chemical process/laboratory (Kwegyir-Afful et al, 2021;Nazir et al, 2015;Nicoletti & Padovano, 2019;Stransky et al, 2021;Tawadrous et al, 2017), manufacturing and assembly (Diego-Mas et al, 2020), and mining (Isleyen & Duzgun, 2019), as these technologies can recreate a realistic but safe 3D environment of some hazardous workplace scenarios where the trainees can improve their risk assessment skills through the learning-by-doing approach (Fig. 3).…”

“…9). Out of the 25 papers, 17 papers showed that the VR-based training provides a higher learning and/ or performance scores with respect to several H&S topics, such as risk assessment and/or machinery and process operation compared to the traditional setting (Adami et al, 2021;Ahn et al, 2020;Ayala García et al, 2016;Dado et al, 2018;Diego-Mas et al, 2020;Gallegos-Nieto et al, 2017;Kazar & Comu, 2021;Li et al, 2012;Liang et al, 2019;Nazir et al, 2015;Nykänen et al, 2020;Ogbuanya & Onele, 2018;Perlman et al, 2014;Pham et al, 2019;Sacks et al, 2013;Shi et al, 2020;Stransky et al, 2021). For instance, Pham et al (2019) stated that users who used non-immersive VR obtained higher scores (mean = 80.1%) in hazard investigation compared to users who used the traditional lecture-based platform (mean = 76.3%).…”

This article provides a critical review of the current studies in VR-based health and safety training, assessment techniques, training evaluation, and its potential to improve the training evaluation outcomes in various high-risk engineering industries. The results of this analysis indicate the breadth of VR-based applications in training users on a combination of topics including risk assessment, machinery, and/or process operation in various industries. Data showed that the use of fully immersive VR increased significantly due to the improvements in hardware, display resolution, and affordability. Most of the articles used external assessment to measure the changes in the satisfaction and the declarative knowledge of trainees as these are easier to implement, while some articles started to implement internal assessment that provides an automated assessment capable of measuring complex skills. The results of the study also suggest that it has the potential to improve the training evaluation outcomes compared to traditional training methods. The findings from this study help practitioners and safety managers by providing a training design framework that may be adopted to optimise the condition of a VR-based training.

“…The core of EEE for GI manufacturing is to guide students to deal with the ethical problems in engineering independently. This requires students to establish a conscious sense of responsibility for the overall social significance and long-term social impact of engineering activities, and have the practical ability to identify, analyze, and solve new problems in engineering ethics (Stransky et al, 2021). On the basis of a dialogue with the public and other stakeholders, engineering ethics is constructed to make their ethical decisions and actions have practical effects on engineering practice.…”

The characteristics of green intelligent (GI) engineering ethics emphasize the necessity of GI engineering ethics education (EEE). The ethics education of GI engineering is in the development stage, and it is urgent to fully understand the significance of evaluating the development of GI EEE. Only based on the GI manufacturing situation system to understand the implementation status of the core education of EEE can we objectively grasp the improvement space of GI EEE. In this study, the corresponding indicators were selected from three dimensions of cultivation education, collaborative education, and situational education to form the element community of evaluation indicators. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method were used to empirically evaluate the implementation of the key mechanism of GI EEE. The results are as follows. (1) The key education of GI EEE includes cultivation education of micro dimension, collaborative education of medium dimension, and situational education of macro dimension. (2) The most important education is to strengthen the ethics education of GI engineering in the training process of college students. The coordination of GI EEE is becoming more and more important, and the integration and construction are the important pursuit of GI EEE. (3) The cultivation education, collaborative education, and situational education of GI EEE are all at a general level. (4) There is not only a gap between theory and practice in GI EEE but also insufficient attention to localization and coordination issues. The willingness of the government to participate in the ethical education of GI engineering is very insufficient. The optimized space of training education includes teaching cases and full-cycle ethical education.

“…The experience chemical engineering students have with making process safety judgements as undergraduates is often limited due to age or prior experiences within the field. Typically, students do not have the ability to practice managing the intricacies of such judgements, potentially leaving gaps in their knowledge of which they are unaware [15], [23] leading to potentially riskier behavior [41], [43]. In this study, the participants were able to react to the differences in their beliefs and behaviors, allowing them to build awareness around their own beliefs about their judgements.…”

“…Although improvements to risk management strategies and automation techniques have been made, process safety incidents continue to persist in industry [1], [20]. To prepare engineering students to work in industry, many institutions have incorporated process safety content in the undergraduate education curriculum as well [21]- [23]. The continual occurrence of process safety incidents shows that these educational measures have not been successful in preventing all occurrence of these disasters.…”
