With the rapid development of emerging technologies, the construction industry is shifting from labor-intensive ways to data-driven ones. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the performance improvement of on-site HSE management. Moreover, according to the report, more than 60% of workers are exposed to construction pollutants (e.g., noise, dust, gases, etc.) weekly and almost 65% of workers have to work monthly in extreme outdoor conditions like very hot or cold temperatures in America. For construction workers in America in 2019, there were 1,102 deaths consisting of 401 in fall, 170 in struck-by, 79 in electrocution, 59 in caught-in, and 393 in other accidents and 79,660 nonfatal injuries including collisions with on-site objects or equipment (32.8%), falls, slips, or trips (31.1%), overexertion or bodily reaction (25.2%), transportation incidents (4.7%), and others (6.2%).
#Smarts construction manual
Despite the priority of HSE in on-site management, manual approaches usually result in poor performance, thereby leading to various social, economic, and environment issues. On-site health, safety, and environment (HSE) management refers to an effective approach to safeguarding the lives of workers and the property of construction projects and has been of interest to researchers and practitioners around the world recently. This study develops a basis to understand the current application of smart technologies in HSE management and contributes to the implementation of smart construction sites for sustainable construction. Moreover, a comprehensive framework for smart technologies in HSE management and a blueprint for HSE-oriented smart construction site establishment are put forward. Based on these interests, different smart technologies including techniques and devices are categorized for on-site HSE management objectives. A bibliometric analysis of publication numbers by year, country and region, and journal presents the research state quo and trends, and a keyword co-occurrence analysis is conducted to show the interests of this topic. To address this gap, this study first performs a systematic procedure to identify the articles (results = 325) associated with the on-site application of smart technologies for HSE and conducts a quantitative and qualitative analysis on their research trend and interests. However, little consideration has been involved in the comprehensive management of health, safety, and environment (HSE) issues using smart technologies. The establishment of smart construction sites employing smart technologies for real-time interconnection, communication, and interaction has emerged as an interesting topic for researchers and practitioners in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry as they contribute to effective, efficient, and high-quality on-site management.
