Abstract:

This paper presents the current limiting factors in the application of virtual reality (VR) in the training process for safety and health at work. Although VR offers significant advantages in occupational safety and health training, such as the simulation of hazardous situations and the enhancement of interactive learning, several factors may limit its widespread implementation. The main limiting factors include technical barriers and high implementation costs. Additionally, the need for specialized equipment, as well as the psychological effects on workers during training, can pose constraints on its application. Furthermore, various organizational factors, along with the lack of qualified personnel for VR content development, represent additional limitations to its implementation. The paper analyzes these limitations and proposes possible solutions to overcome them, aiming to enable a broader use of VR technology in occupational safety and health training.

Keywords:

Virtual reality (VR) technology, limiting factors, training for safety and health work
