The role of Virtual reality in construction safetymanagement , research trend by bibliometric analysis

The construction industry has always been known as one of the most accident-prone industries andthe amount of risk, dangers and injuries caused by accidents and unsafe activities is more visible thanother work environments. In order to reduce the intensity factor of construction accidents and despitethe inefficiency of some old methods, thanks to the revolution of the digital age and with thewidespread entry of technologies into the building, the approach of the activists of this industrytowards better safety management and also the reduction of casualties caused by workplace accidentshas changed. Is. Virtual reality along with AR and BIM as a new tool in the digital field by creatingsimulated workshop environments and relying on the basic engine of computer games to create theworkshop environment in ۳D and by transferring data with the help of BIM and Its analysis andevaluation lead to creation An educational platform has been built for construction workers toexperience the necessary awareness and knowledge in this platform before facing potential risks andrisks, and it improves the level of awareness of employees. Another widespread use of virtual realityin the classrooms of civil engineering students is to provide conditions similar to the workshop beforeentering the project site to increase the level of awareness of students and their learning level in thefield of safety management in construction. In the literature review carried out from ۲۰۱۲ until now,the number of ۱۷۰ articles related to the use of virtual reality in the discussion of workshop safety isexamined and with Rstudio software, the most important effective factors in the research field aredetermined. In the end, with the investigations done, the lack of acceptability and the spread of virtualreality in classrooms and workshop environments can be considered dependent on factors such ashigh implementation costs, the training of faculty members in line with teaching students, and theconstruction industry's lack of confidence in the use of this technology.
