Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the use of virtual reality in safety training. This study used various data analysis tools to perform a systematic literature review to explore the use of virtual reality for safety training. Metadata was extracted from various databases like Scopus, google scholar through Harzings’ Publish or Perish, and web of science. This data was then analyzed using VOSviewer, MAXQDA, BibExcel and Citespace. Mendeley was used to generate a bibliography. The review showed that virtual reality can be used effectively for safety training. Various studies prove that virtual reality training is superior to traditional training techniques and can actively engage learners leading to better learning outcomes. Some of the limitations of this technology like access to head-mounted displays (HMDs), language barriers and evaluation techniques have also been reviewed. Ideas for future work in this topic area have been proposed. This article demonstrates the use of various bibliometric analysis tools for a systematic literature review and discusses the potential of VR for safety training in the near future.
