Hyundai Engineering has created an experiential safety management space at the construction site of Shinhanul Units 3 and 4. The company announced on May 18 that it held an opening ceremony on May 14 for the first safety training center at a construction site in South Korea.
The safety training center at Shinhanul Units 3 and 4 is designed to allow workers to experience and respond to common hazards encountered during construction. It features five zones: Fire Safety Zone, Safety Inspection Zone, Confined Space Safety Zone, Emergency Response Zone, and Virtual Safety Zone, offering a total of 13 experiential programs. These programs include safety training for fall, suffocation, fire, and electric shock incidents, as well as health education on CPR, the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AED), and the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.
Among these, the Virtual Safety Zone utilizes 4D XR experience facilities, multi-user virtual reality (VR), and Apple Vision Pro technology to create immersive content simulating construction site accidents, according to the company.
A Hyundai Engineering representative stated, "The safety training center is a practical training space designed for workers to experience real hazards and develop their response capabilities. We aim to operate it as an open industrial safety education platform that can be utilized by site members and the local community, thereby strengthening a prevention-focused safety management system."
Additionally, Hyundai Engineering has been operating a mobile experiential education program called the 'Safety Culture Hub' dedicated vehicle. This program combines experiential content and VR equipment focused on major hazards such as hanging, confined spaces, electricity, and construction equipment, allowing participants to experience various work environments directly.
