Enhancing digital transformation in construction health and safety: A systematic review of the current state of the art

Previous studies have emphasized the need to improve the state of knowledge regarding the benefits of incorporating safety technologies to improve safety of workers. Despite the benefits that could be gained from incorporating safety technologies, its potential has not been fully realised. This paper therefore filled the gap by examining critical success factors required for implementing safety technologies in the management of construction H&S from the organisational point of view and then develop a framework for its adoption. A systematic literature review was conducted on selected articles from 2012-2022 to allow a thorough synthesis on recent literature on digital innovations and construction H&S. The success factors are attributed to strategic initiatives, organisational culture, learning capability and knowledge sharing and financial and statutory drivers. The findings from this study will be valuable to industry practitioners, policy makers, regarding strategies to enhance its successful implementation in the construction industry.
