Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In recent times, augmented reality has gained attention as an important enabling technology in multiple industries, particularly for construction and safety management. This paper assesses the extent to which augmented reality could potentially be applied in the field for hazard identification and worker training while advocating for its usability in enhancing the safety culture of the construction industry. Supported by evidence from some studies, this paper analyzes the benefits of AR, such as enhanced safety risk consciousness, advanced training strategies, and the promotion of safety standards and laws. The outcomes demonstrate AR's substantial contributions in hazard detection and the promotion of workers' safety practice compliance, thus contributing to a safer working environment. Pertaining to barriers towards technology applicability, integration into present frameworks, and commercial viability, this paper also provides an insight into recommendations for effective implementation.
