“…In comparison to other industries, such as manufacturing, and medical operations, the applications of AR/MR/VR in the AEC are in their infancy [22]. The incorporation of VR and BIM is often studied to improve design, decision-making [10], and education [23,24]. According to Rankohi and Waugh's [25] study, nonimmersive forms of AR are preferred by project managers and field workers to keep track of project progress and defects.…”

With the advent of technological tools, systems, and mechanisms, the operating system in the construction industry has changed enormously. While technological advancements cover a broad area of software and hardware, those involved in data flow have significant roles in data sustainability. The data flow presupposes various requirements, interactions, consequences, and resource utilization and therefore plays a crucial role in construction organizations’ success. The importance of the data flow subject and the scarcity of pertinent studies provoked the current research, which aimed at the exploration of the data flow in construction companies and the effects of technological advancements on different stages of this flow. The overarching research question was, “what factors or processes generate data that do not add value to the construction organization.” In this context, the added value was considered a tradeoff between all consumed resources, including cost, human resources, hardware and software, and associated challenges on one side and the advantages of data generated on the other side. An extensive literature review was performed to examine the main milestones in the data-generative events in the construction industry, with a special emphasis on recent technological advancements such as BIM, VR, AR, and drones. In addition, a group of construction professionals who were in charge of processes was surveyed to produce empirical data for supplementary analysis. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by providing a clear analysis of the data flow in construction companies which helps decision-makers to design and implement consistent and coherent data generative systems.

“…According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), training should cover a range of topics, including emergency procedures, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and identification of workplace hazards. Ongoing safety training not only helps prevent incidents and injuries but also fosters a culture of awareness and responsibility among workers, contributing to overall workplace well-being (Rokooei et al, 2023).…”

One of the challenges encountered by Malaysian SMEs is the high rate of workplace incidents. Thus, this study examined the direct relationship between management practices (employee involvement, training, management commitment, and communication and feedback) and four safety performance dimensions (safety compliance, safety participation, safety outcomes, and employee satisfaction) among 249 SMEs in Malaysia. In addition, the present study explored the role of proactive personality as a moderator of the mentioned relationships. Quantitative data were processed using structural equation modelling techniques through Partial Least Squares. The findings supported the hypothesized direct effects of employee involvement and training on safety compliance and participation, as well as communication and feedback on employee satisfaction. With regards to proactive personality, the study found it to moderate the relationship between communication and feedback and safety outcomes. In order to achieve optimal workplace safety, management should focus on the implementation of management practices and consider proactive personalities to improve the safety level in an organization. This paper recommends that business owners and managers increase the frequency of training for their employees and involve them in safety decision-making. The findings underscore the importance of fostering a comprehensive safety culture within the organization. SMEs should invest in robust and ongoing employee training programs that not only address core safety protocols but also emphasize the importance of active involvement in safety initiatives. Encourage a culture where employees feel empowered to contribute ideas and take ownership of safety practices. Recognize the diverse nature of your workforce by tailoring communication approaches

“…VR is considered to be more effective at sustaining concentration as well as increasing focus in employees, allowing it to be used for high-risk jobs. Work at height is one example; this may be performed for fall prevention training and communicating dangerous work environments to new employees in a way that is more efficient and safer (Davila Delgado et al, 2020;Chander et al, 2021;Rokooei et al, 2023) .…”

Introduction: The International Labor Organization (ILO) considers OSH awareness an essential component of OSH training and education. In addition, virtual reality possesses a unique set of characteristics and components and envisaged that by minimizing the risk of accidents during health and safety training. The aim of the research is to further understand the practicality, user experience and efficacy of virtual reality technology in safety education and training. Method: This paper describes and discusses the VR on occupational safety and health. This paper used the Systematic Literature Review to identified 16 articles that are related to VR on occupational safety and health. Articles are written in English and reviews of scientific journals published in the following internet databases; Scopus, SpringerLink, Web of Science, and Wiley Interscience from 2017 to 2023. Results: The incorporation of Virtual reality (VR) into numerous settings has been demonstrated by research conducted on literature reviews. This review found that VR applications can be used to investigate human behavior in dangerous situations in many settings, VR can also be used to create an innovative learning environment in the high-risk sectors, simulate a realistic physical environment and provide experience to enhance knowledge of workplace safety. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that VR has positive impact on learning about increasing OSH awareness. Conclusion: Several studies have shown that virtual reality is one of the most effective training methods at present. It is believed that the application of VR technology could be used to investigate human behavior in dangerous settings; Additionally, VR can be used to improve HSE employers' understanding of unsafe behavior. The VR improves learning about OSH awareness, risk assessment, and recognizing health concerns.
