Job hazard analysis (JHA) is crucial for safety risk assessment and control in the construction industry. However, workers using traditional JHA methods that lack visualization tools may not be able to identify all potential hazards. This research proposes a framework for implementing virtual reality (VR) in JHA. The study employed a two-fold approach: first, examining current JHA procedures through site visits and interviews with construction professionals, and second, implementing a VR-based JHA. Two construction experts tested the proposed VR-based JHA and provided feedback on its feasibility and user experience. The experts feedback revealed that immersive VR environments can potentially enhance hazard detection for new workers. However, practical challenges, such as access to Wi-Fi, power supply, hardware availability, integration with existing systems, and user acceptance, must be addressed for successful VR integration into JHA. This study demonstrates VR’s potential to enhance construction safety while highlighting the challenges that must be overcome to realize its full benefits in improving workplace safety and proactive hazard mitigation.
