Abstract

Hazard identification is a fundamental step in safety management that has the potential to reduce the number and severity of occupational injuries on construction sites. Researchers have identified and evaluated some of the hazards, but few have extensively discussed all of them and none have classified them by sector. The goal of this paper is to fill that research gap by considering hazard identification through an organized synthesis of the existing literature. After a comprehensive literature review, 236 publications were deemed eligible for further analysis. Eighteen safety hazards were identified and then categorized into four groups based on their physiological impacts, ranked based on frequency of citation, and classified by sector. The results revealed that falls from heights, material handling, and heavy machinery were the most frequently cited hazards and the most likely to impact all sectors. Mitigation strategies were also identified, and it was determined that most hazards can be mitigated through the use of personal protective equipment, and effective training and supervision.

  • There is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding risk mitigation strategies implemented across different regions and limited evidence on their combined impacts on non-fatal injuries.

    “However, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the risk mitigation strategies implemented across different regions, along with limited evidence on their combined impacts on non-fatal injuries (Almaskati et al. 2024; Chan et al. 2023; Consunji et al. 2020; Van der Molen et al. 2018; Lehtola et al. 2008).”

    From Impact of risk mitigation strategies on non-fatal injuries in the construction sector in qatar: a retrospective analysis (2025) · cites this paper as Almaskati et al. 2024

    The Introduction and Future Directions sections say the literature lacks an exhaustive account of mitigation practices and that few studies consider strategies to minimize hazards. The Conclusions mention reducing non-fatal injuries, but the paper does not establish a gap across different regions or specifically identify limited evidence on the combined effects of strategies on non-fatal injuries.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
