Abstract: Abstract Currently, the situation of safe production in Chinese construction industry is still very serious. Construction workers as the main implementer of the project, strengthening their safety education training is conducive to the safety production management. Traditional training cannot meet the needs of modern safety education due to lack of physical experience, and the addition of virtual reality(VR) technology brings new opportunities and challenges to safety education training. VR experiential safety training has the obvious advantages of simulating the construction site, rich training types, significant training effects, safety, etc., but it is not widely used in China's construction industry. It is necessary to explore the factors that influence the adoption of VR experiential safety training. Therefore, this paper takes the construction enterprise as the entry point, after reading the relevant literature, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and Technology-Organization-Environment Framework Model (UTAUT-TOE) are combined to construct a theoretical model for the adoption of VR experiential safety training, and the questionnaire was designed to investigate. By analyzing the collected 337 valid questionnaires and using the structural equation model to verify the research hypothesis, the following research conclusions were obtained: performance expectations, effort expectations, organizational factors, and corporate innovation can directly influence the adoption intention, and the degree of influence of innovation is the biggest; the adoption intention, enterprise innovation, organizational factors can directly affect the adoption behavior, and other factors can be indirectly affected. Finally, in view of the adoption of VR experiential safety training for construction enterprises, the paper puts forward relevant countermeasures and suggestions from the perspectives of construction enterprises, suppliers of VR products and the government.
