Hybrid event

Who are we?

The Portuguese Society for Occupational Safety and Hygiene (Sociedade Portuguesa de Segurança e Higiene Ocupacionais) is a technical-scientific structure and member of ENSHPO (European Network of Safety and Health Professional Organizations) that promotes the deepening of knowledge in the areas of Safety, Hygiene, Health and Ergonomics and Environment Protection at work and, simultaneously, access to research results in these areas through the promotion of events such as the upcoming SHO2023.

About the event

SHO

This Symposium has been held annually since 2004, so SHO2023 will be its 20th edition.

The publication of a book (since 2013) with chapters indexed in SCOPUS with great international projection has increasingly attracted the presence of delegates from many countries. 

Since 2019, SHO has offered technical-scientific training in the most varied areas, granting participation certification to those who register.

Participants also have the opportunity to publish their work as one of the following manuscripts types:

  • Book Chapter – written in English. All works that comply with deadline submission and the rules referred to in the authors’ instructions can apply to Book Chapter.  The works will be selected in two phases:
    1. Formal verification by the Occupational and Environmental Safety V Editors
    2. Scientific evaluation carried out by, at least, two members of the International Scientific Committee (ISC). Papers with an ISC average rating of 0 (or more points) on a scale from -3 to +3 points will be accepted. Unselected papers are automatically re-classified as Proceeding Articles for possible publication in the Proceedings Book.
  • Proceeding Articles – written in Portuguese or English. This category includes articles selected by ISC’s decision, according to the former point, or authors’ submission option. 
  • Abstracts – written in English. This category includes articles selected by ISC’s decision, according to the former point, or author’s submission option. The abstracts will be considered for Poster presentation.

Adeeb Sidani

Basics to creating virtual reality and augmented reality scenarios July 19, 20 and 21

About the course

Mining and construction sites are dynamic and complex environments, which makes it challenging to carry out control and monitoring tasks for safety and the prevention of accidents at work. The difficulties to be considered in preventing occupational risks are especially significant due to the lack of training of workers. All sites are different, so it is necessary to train technicians, workers and engineers for the specific and potential risks that may arise in each task or on each site.

The use of immersive technologies in the training of workers and technicians has proven to be effective in preventing risks and injuries in these hazardous sectors. The immersive tools simulate constructive scenarios that allow identifying and prevention of risks for workers, technicians and engineers. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) solutions based on BIM models not only have the ability to train workers and simulate working sites but also help with safety management, site planning, visualization, inspections, site monitoring, and site and risk assessment. Immersive tools are becoming more accessible, and the tools that will be presented include applications for mobile devices, Head-mounted displays, VR and AR HoloLens, involving BIM models according to training needs.

About the lecturer

Adeeb Sidani is an architect born in Beirut, Lebanon. Living in Porto for over six years.

Currently, he is working as a Project manager at Porto Digital, a researcher at the University of Porto Faculty of Engineering and a PhD candidate. His current research interest is in the area of Occupational Safety and Health in Construction using Building Information Modelling, Automated Rule Checking, and Immersive technologies for training. Won several international EU-funded projects in the fields of digitalisation of education and training.

Developed various training scenarios for Virtual and Augmented Reality, including Smartphones, Head-mounted Displays and HoloLens. Has several scientific publications in the area of digitalization.

Virtual presentations: all virtual presentations must be sent to sho2023@sposho.pt prior to the symposium, according to the instructions provided by email. On the day of the presentation, authors must log in, at least, 15 minutes prior to the session beginning. There will be a period for Q&A at the end of each presentation. Therefore, the presenting author must be available to address any questions.

Room presentations: presentations must be sent to sho2023@sposho.pt prior to the symposium, according to the instructions provided by email. Presenting authors must check in 10 minutes before the session starts to receive general instructions from the Chairman.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTERS

Please use the template available here.

Posters must be delivered to the task force at the registration on the first day of the symposium.

During the poster sessions, authors should be available to discuss their work.

PROGRAM
