Korea Racing Authority (KRA) included a virtual reality experience of fall and caught-in accidents in its 2026 Safety Culture Week, held at Seoul Race Park from 27 October to 1 November 2026. The VR experience was offered to citizens and racing customers as part of a campaign to spread workplace safety awareness.
KRA extended what had previously been a one-day safety campaign to six days, with education tailored to local residents, racing customers, staff and partner-company workers.
How the VR experience was used
At Baro Market and the Seoul Race Park lawn plaza, visitors took part in the VR fall and caught-in accident experience. It ran alongside other hands-on safety activities, including fire-extinguisher and fire-hydrant use training and CPR practice.
The wider event
The host event drew 159 officials and partner representatives from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, Gwacheon City Health Center, Kia AutoLand Gwangmyeong and nine partner firms. That figure counts participants in the host event, not VR users.
Ha Jae-mu, head of KRA's Safety Management Unit, said KRA intends to keep spreading a safety culture with the local community and partner companies and to develop the Safety Culture Week into a flagship safety-culture event.
