“…A number of measuring tools have been used in literature (EU OSHA, 2011;HSE, 2005;Glendon and Clarke, 2006) and have influenced surveys. At a European level, OSHA the European Agency for Health and Safety at Work, periodically carries out the Enterprise survey on new and emerging risks -ESENER (2010).…”

“…A competency is a KSA triplet: Knowledge (K), Skills(S) and Attitude/Ability (A) meaning a competent worker in terms of safety must have the capacity to sense a dangerous situation. He or she must also have the body of information necessary to recognize such situation, the tendency to act in a controlled and predictable manner and an ability to be consistent in acting in a manner relevant to the situation [Glendon et al 2006]. …”

Figure 1: Snapshots of the administrative scenario of the AES-risk simulator. Images (a) and (b) show two views of the courtyard, while images (c) and (d) show the offices and the kitchen. Red arrows on the floor indicate a path that should be followed by users. On image (c), an office chair (highlighted in red) was selected by the user because it is in the middle of a corridor. The user understood that the chair represents a risky situation. AbstractAny human-computer interface imposes a certain level of cognitive load to the user task. Analogously, the task itself also imposes different levels of cognitive load. It is common sense in 3D user interfaces research that a higher number of degrees of freedom increases the interface cognitive load. If the cognitive load is significant, it might compromise the user performance and undermine the evaluation of user skills in a virtual environment. In this paper, we propose an assessment of two immersive VR interfaces with varying degrees of freedom in two VR tasks: risk perception and basic object selection. We examine the effectiveness of both interfaces in these two different tasks. Results show that the number of degrees of freedom does not significantly affect a basic selection task, but it affects risk perception task in an unexpected way.

fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractHazard identification and risk assessment are at the core of an effective health and safety system. Despite this fundamental, during incident and accident investigation risk assessment processes are sometimes not used effectively and found to be deficient.Possible further developments are considered and in particular how this simulation can be used in the context of both new employees with lack of experience, and experienced staff who may be complacent, as the both groups are vulnerable.
