Worksafety is a global concern. The engineering industry especially the construction sector has the highest rates of injuries. Improving the traditional method of classroom training using videos and replacing with the advanced training sessions like utilizing the 3D model of the construction site and the virtual environment would be effective. In this paper, we have adopted the method of providing safety training in virtual interactive 3D environment. This method of safety training is given to the site workers and freshmen employee in order to increase awareness of the potential hazards and visualize the construction site that enhances the ability to understand the safety measures.
