“…Pritchard (1969) introduced the concept of bibliometric review and analysis and argued that through quantitative analysis of patterns and boundaries, it has the potential to provide insights into research in a specific field. The bibliometric analysis utilises science mapping tools for visualising physical aspects of scientific research and domains and describing the structure of their disciplines (Van Eck and Waltman 2010; Akram et al 2019). It is the mathematical analyses of publications and their properties such as, for example, authorship, publication source, type, and timelines (de Rezende et al 2018).…”

“…In this study, the VOSviewer software was used to analyse statistical evidence obtained from the data source and develop a co-occurrence map. VOSviewer has gained widespread usage in the review of construction literature and has been adopted in previous construction health and safety research Liang et al 2018;Jin et al 2019;Akram et al 2019;Aghimien et al 2019;Vigneshkumar and Salve 2020).…”

“…While numerous studies reviewing construction health and safety technologies have been conducted, most of the previous studies have limited research focus and performed an analysis utilising limited selection criteria and samples (Zhou et al 2012;Zhang et al 2017;Yang et al 2018;Akram et al 2019). For example, Zhou et al (2012) conducted a comprehensive review of the adoption of digital interventions and technologies for construction safety and digital design.…”

“…Although, ; used science mapping tools to provide an overview of the evolution of research trends of innovative technologies for health and safety improvement in the construction industry the review was limited to 119 and 111 publications, respectively. Some reviews focussed on specific digital technologies such as BIM, sensor-based and real-time technologies for construction health and safety management (Yang et al 2018;Akram et al 2019).…”

Technologies such as virtual reality (VR), online databases, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Building Information Modelling (BIM), Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), 4 D Computer-Aided Design (4 D CAD), wearable robotics have been adopted to improve construction site health and safety. However, little attempt has been made to map global research on construction health and safety technologies. Therefore, this paper conducts a review of technologies for construction health and safety management to reveal emerging research trends. A bibliometric review adopting a two-step literature selection method was conducted to compile relevant publications from the Scopus database. In total, 240 related papers were examined. VOSviewer was used to develop a co-occurrence network based on the bibliographic data obtained. The analysis focussed on co-authorship per country, country/region distribution, the number of publications annually, publication source and source and trend of research topics. Findings revealed that emerging trends in construction health and safety technologies research focussed on project health and safety design and planning, visualisation and image processing for construction projects, digital technologies for project monitoring, information management and Internet of Things, automation and robotic systems, health and safety and accident prevention and structure evaluation.

The paper addresses the context in which the construction industry is considered risky, as the intense labor and machine environment interacts with acceleration and overlapping activities. This situation results in accidents and fatalities. A high number of accidents and fatalities leads to additional costs and delays, detrimental to all stakeholders. Hazard identification and quantification of their impacts on building safety are crucial for planning. Classifying security risks is a complex process, and risks are interconnected. There is a gap in the literature to study the interconnections of these hazards along with the frequency of occurrences. To bridge this gap, the frequency-adjusted importance index and the ANP (Analytical Networking Process) tool were used to capture the 14 interconnections and their frequencies based on the results of a survey distributed to 106 construction professionals. The main contribution of this work to existing knowledge is to identify and prioritize potential risks in the construction sector, considering their interconnections and their level of occurrence frequency. This is the first study in the literature to combine the frequency-adjusted importance index and the ANP tool, both integrated. The results from the importance index was used as the base for pairwise comparison for the ANP model. Based on the results from the model, recommendations to industry professionals are provided and presented.
