Abstract
The impact of Virtual Reality (VR) on methods and techniques of Occupational Health and Safety is widely considered when high-tech, automatized and human risk-intensive branch involved. VR technologies albeit considered mature, require the expanding from the scientific and merely experimental visualization realm into more multidisciplinary areas especially the OHS in companies. As VR has a significant impact on improvement of occupational health and safety situation at any enterprise, it is to be adopted or absorbed by the so called traditional industries, especially agri-food ones. The VR can provide the simulation and prediction of contingency conditions not included within the risk management approach of the company and to serve for operationalizing and designing future and retrospective analysis of potential or befallen risks and human errors. This paper reviews a sample of conceptual and empirical articles in order to describe and synthesize possible approach to enhance VR use within OHS in Olive Oil industry. The main objective of the integrative study is to build new framework of the VR application in technology-based innovation within the industry. This paper will discuss the issues related to state-of-art of interactive virtual environments, especially Virtual Reality, in processes of Occupational Health and Safety in traditional agri-food industry such as Olive Oil multi-sector (olive farming, oil press, olive pickles). © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
