Abstract
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.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
