  Early identification of on-site hazards is crucial for accident prevention in
the construction industry. Currently, the construction industry relies on
experienced safety advisors (SAs) to identify site hazards and generate
mitigation measures to guide field workers. However, more than half of the site
hazards remain unrecognized due to the lack of field experience or
site-specific knowledge of some SAs. To address these limitations, this study
proposed an Extended Reality (XR)-augmented visual assistance framework,
including Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), that enables
capturing and transferring subconscious inspection strategies between workers
or workers/machines for a construction safety inspection. The purpose is to
enhance SA's training and real-time situational awareness for identifying
on-site hazards while reducing their mental workloads.
