Being one of the oldest industries in existence, the infrastructure industry is quite rigid and set in its ways. This is bound to happen as when the industry is moving forward without innovation, why invest more to change. This also means the same mistakes, issues, problems and hazards continue within the system. Without innovation factors like defective equipment, human error, hazardous activities, environments dangerous to work in etc. are major causes for concern in terms of health and safety. Today there are multiple digital technologies available, some more complex and exhaustive than others, which can be explored to ensure better health and safety standards and support management of the same. With multiple emerging technologies, the intent was to explore and study, categorise, identify the target point of research, analyse the core role and lastly understand how these digital technologies can be used to improve health and safety management in the infrastructure sector. Academic databases like the ASCE library, Science Direct, Web of Science, Taylor and Francis etc. paved the way for systematic and extensive literature review process which was employed to conduct the study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
