Leading Technologies Adoption in Construction Safety Management
الملخص
Existing research reveals that by adopting leading technologies in the construction industry, worker's safety could be maximized. Presently, the application of technologies to promote safety in the construction sector is limited. The data for accident cases on the construction sites are very limited. Many tools and techniques have been created to increase worker safety on construction sites by designing and implementing good safety plans. A bibliometric and scientometric approach was used to identify the most prominent technologies in construction safety management. The data was retrieved from WOS database, and the analysis of the study is based on using VOS viewer to visualize the domain-specific knowledge. This study helps in the identification of emerging digital technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), IT applications, Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), its application, and barriers in adoption during safety management. This study also highlights critical factors that promote technology adoption in construction safety management. This research also traces the current trends, future directions and supports crucial knowledge on safety technology to construction researchers and practitioners.
