The construction industry is slowly approaching the middle of this century, but not enoughattention is being given to safety work. There are still far too many people who are injured attheir workplaces both in Sweden and abroad. At the same time, there is constantdevelopment in the technological world, and it becomes easier over time for many to be ableto live more comfortable lives.The purpose of this study is to report how new technology, in this case virtual reality, can beused as an alternative teaching method in security work. The report intends to explainprimarily how a saving on health can take place through the application of virtual reality insafety education.This study has relied on two methods. A literature study, which reports where safety work islacking today, what type of work accidents occur and how this technology can prevent them.As well as an interview study, which reports the construction industry's attitude to theapplication of new technology in the industry, as well as its potential in the prevention offuture work accidents.Virtual reality has a great potential to be used in safety training today, to be able to teachworkers about safety risks in a workplace. This is made possible through a realistic andinteractive 3D environment, which can imitate real workplaces and can recreate differentscenarios. Virtual reality thus becomes an effective teaching method, as it offers safetytraining that is risk-free. This means that an individual can practice their skills withoutworrying about making mistakes. By stimulating the different human senses such as touch,hearing and sight in a risk-free and interactive teaching environment, virtual reality is givenan opportunity as a technology to shine in safety training.Virtual reality has several uses in safety training, and its potential is enormous. However,there is a lack of a fair attitude towards this type of technology, which is based on ignoranceof the technology's potential but also that the technology lacks diverse innovation. However,there is no doubt that this technology will be part of future security training.
