Leveraging Technology in Advancing Construction Workers Safety

Abstract

Construction worker safety is a top priority in the construction business. It refers to the procedures, protocols, and practises put in place to ensure the safety and physical well-being of construction workers. Because of the presence of heavy gear, high work zones, and possible exposure to different dangers such as falls, equipment accidents, toxic chemicals, and structure collapses, construction sites are inherently hazardous settings. Safety for construction workers cannot be stressed. Construction safety is a guideline that construction safety managers follow and implement. It is the consequence of proper equipment use, worker safety, frequent site inspections, and risk assessments. Compliance with regional safety and health requirements is a critical component of construction safety. In many nations, ensuring worker safety is not just a moral imperative, but also a legal necessity. Construction businesses must offer a safe working environment and follow safety regulations and guidelines to avoid accidents, injuries, and fatalities. To reduce the occurrence of construction accidents and enhance the safety record of construction projects, dangerous elements must be identified by monitoring construction workers' behaviours. The aim of this study is to look at the implementation and adoption of technologies for construction workers safety as well as the opinions and perspectives of the construction industry towards these technologies.
