Abstract

The number of occupational accidents in the construction industry remains consistently high compared to other sectors of the economy. This situation is largely explained by the continued use of outdated methods and tools in occupational safety training. This article analyzes the theoretical foundations and practical advantages of improving labor safety in the construction sector through the implementation of modern training methodologies based on virtual reality technologies. 

Keywords

Occupational safety in construction, construction site accidents, industrial safety, human factor, fatal occupational accidents, occupational safety training, virtual reality-based training (VR), digital educational technologies, labor protection, occupational risk management.
