BIM-a and BIM-VR systems for construction worker’s safety cognition development

The creation of a system capable of recognizing the reciprocal interactions between psychological, behavioural, and situational variables of safety management is a viable solution to safety cognition development. Thus, this research suggests a qualitatively validated conceptual model of BIM—animation and virtual reality—system for improving construction workers' safety cognition. Combining BIM technologies with safety cognition components and choosing two BIM technologies that are beneficial for fostering and enhancing workers' safety cognition led to the creation of the system. Workers will only follow safety rules and regulations if they have mental models of safety knowledge that are relevant to the laws and regulations, according to the study.
