ABSTRACT
Construction is one of the most hazardous and dangerous industries, causing a high amount of accidents and injuries. To improve safety performance, safety education plays a crucial role in professional knowledge and skills before people enter construction workplaces. However, safety curricula at university have been isolated and have failed to provide sufficient knowledge and professional skills to learners. With the emergence of state-of-the-art technology, Virtual Photoreality (VP) has facilitated many disciplines. Regarding this, the chapter proposes an innovative VP-based learning approach for improving construction safety education. A VP prototype is proposed, derived from accident case studies that are common on construction jobsites. Preliminary results reveal that VP is a potential tool for promoting safety education.
