| Summary: | The research explores academia and industry experts’ viewpoints regarding the
innovative progression of Virtual Reality (VR)-based safety tools customized for technical and
vocational education training (TVET) within commercial kitchen contexts. Developing a VR�based safety tools holistic framework is crucial in identifying constructs to mitigate the risks
prevalent in commercial kitchens, encompassing physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic,
and psychosocial hazards workers encounter. Introducing VR-based safety training represents
a proactive strategy to bolster education and training standards, especially given the historically
limited attention directed toward workers’ physical and mental well-being in this sector. This
study pursues a primary objective: validating a framework for VR-based kitchen safety within
TVET’s hospitality programs. In addition to on-site observations, the research conducted semi�structured interviews with 16 participants, including safety training coordinators, food service
coordinators, and IT experts. Participants supplemented qualitative insights by completing a 7-
Likert scale survey. Utilizing the Fuzzy Delphi technique, seven constructs were delineated. The validation process underscored three pivotal constructs essential for the VR safety framework’s development: VR kitchen design, interactive applications, and hazard identification. These findings significantly affect the hospitality industry’s safety standards and training methodologies within commercial kitchen environments |
