N2 - Over the past decade, the development of construction robots, such as drones, has increased, given the need to apply emerging technologies and innovations in enhancing occupational health and safety on construction sites. The usage of these innovations is not without safety concerns for human-robot interaction. Previous studies have highlighted the importance of training in enabling a safe collaboration between human workers and robots in the construction environment. However, the cost of acquiring these novel innovations makes training cost expensive. This study, therefore, examines the safety and training implications of human-drone interactions based on the simulation of drones for material handling in a virtual environment. The findings of this study would help construction stakeholders and designers identify critical factors towards enabling an effective virtual reality training approach to building safe adoption of robots and ensuring workers’ health is assured.
