| Summary: | The construction industry accounts for a large proportion of the national GDP; however, it is one of the world’s most dangerous industrial sectors. Existing studies have inadequately reviewed safety risk-related research in high-rise building construction. Therefore, this study conducts a systematic review of safety risks in high-rise building construction from 2004 to 2024. First, the paper presents investigates the causes of accidents and risk factors that endanger occupational safety and health, comprising 8 main factors and 60 sub-factors. Second, the paper explores the assessment methods for evaluating and ranking these safety risk factors, of which nine typical methods are elaborated. Finally, a technical framework for mitigating the eight main safety risk factors is established in paper, providing safety practitioners with access to cutting-edge technologies and methods in the construction industry. Furthermore, this study provides suggestions and future directions for addressing the drawbacks of current mitigation measures to sustainably improve building construction safety. |
