SMART technologies that influence construction health and safety factors risk reduction in the current digital era

What is it about?

This article highlights the factors affecting health and safety (H&S) in the Construction Industry and the SMART Technologies (ST) used to mitigate them. It discusses the "fatal or focus five factors" and the ST solutions such as SMART Glasses, SMART Helmet, Mobile Apps, BIM, Virtual Reality, Drones, and Wearable Technology. The paper emphasizes the need for intelligent technologies to minimize risks and identifies areas within the scope of ST that are yet to be explored. It aims to aid industry understanding and focus on mitigating associated risks, offering practical and theoretical implications for better H&S management in the construction industry.
