ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new training method designed to help construction workers learn how to work safely at heights. The training uses Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR), which means workers can practice in a realistic virtual environment that simulates dangerous situations without any real risk. The researchers will also measure things like heart rate and breathing to see how stressed the workers are during the training. This helps them understand how well workers are prepared to handle high-risk tasks and make quick decisions.

To participate in this study, workers need to be first-time learners from the National Learning Service (SENA) and not have any prior experience working at heights. Those with health issues that could interfere with the training are not eligible. Participants can expect to engage in virtual training sessions, where they'll learn important safety skills in a controlled setting. The goal is to see if this innovative training approach can make workers more confident and reduce accidents on the job. This research could lead to better safety practices in the construction industry, making it a safer place for everyone.
