Olubukola, C I and Mewomo, M C (2022) Enhancing digital transformation in construction health and safety: A systematic review of the current state of the art. In: Tutesigensi, A and Neilson, C J (eds.) Proceedings of 38th Annual ARCOM Conference, 5-7 September 2022, Glasgow Caledonian University, Glasgow, UK.
Abstract
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.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
