NCT ID NCT06728566
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding immersive virtual reality (VR) and biosignal monitoring to standard safety training helps construction workers learn to work at heights more safely. Twenty first-time trainees will practice in realistic virtual environments while their heart rate and breathing are tracked. The goal is to see if VR training improves practical skills, reduces accidents, and boosts worker confidence.
