Exploring the effectiveness of virtual reality-based training for sustainable health and occupational safety in industry 4.0 by Yousef Qawqzeh, Ata Al Shraah, Ali Rizwan, Manuel Sánchez-Chero, Leandro Alonso Vallejos More, Mohammad Shabaz

“…Findings revealed statistically significant differences between the groups, as shown by the Mann-Whitney U test. Compared to the control group, the intervention group performed significantly better on several indicators, such as the efficacy of the VR training (mean rank = 30.00) and how participants perceived their ability after completing the OSH training based on VR (mean rank = 74.0); further, the findings from the current study revealed that participants who had VR training resources available felt that these were more accessible and better quality than those in the control group (median = 65) than intervention group (median = 72) significant at (p = 000). …”
