The emerging growth of the universal railway development has inspired many nations, including Malaysia, as a crucial strategy for construction sustainable by improving the domestic transportation network and boost economic competitiveness. It serves as the foundation of a city’s public transportation system, to convey huge numbers of people effectively. An organization’s sustainable development strategy should be examined in conjunction with other factors such, occupational safety, and health. Hence, implementation safety practice assessment plan review in railway engineering industrial towards sustainable construction is important. This study was focused on the objectives of (i) to identify safety practice assessment for improvement strategy in railway industrial engineering, (ii) to investigate safety practice assessment challenges in railway engineering industry, and (iii) to analyses safety practice assessment elements in railway engineering industrial. There are 20 journals listed, with 100 articles selected articles were dissected and then the variables on challenges in safety practice has been identified. From the results of the framework, recommendation to improve safety practice assessment plan for future railway engineering industrial to sustain construction can establish. Thus, the research will be helpful for them to understand better upon the procedures and possible safety issues, and able to practice safety procedures to avoid undesired accidents to assist Malaysian construction sustainability. In addition, for the existing literatures, this research will be an additional input for the lacking details related to safety practices in railway project sites.
