“…Working in close proximity has been identified in five publications which comes under the culture indicator category. Struck by equipment incidents are always the consequence of particular circumstances intrinsic in construction sites that strain workers' understanding of the situation, leaving them vulnerable (Wang and Razavi, 2017). Extensive studies have focussed on working in close proximity prevention to avert machinery risks from occurring through various technologies (Choe et al , 2014; Park et al , 2015; Teizer and Cheng, 2015).…”

PurposeSafety performance indicators are a major research concern globally in the construction sector, so this study aims to systematically analyse construction safety performance indicators from some top research publications from 2000 to 2019.Design/methodology/approachSystematic review was performed using Scopus search engine and relevant publications were compiled. Visual and far reaching search in all publications were performed. Final analysis was done to evaluate selected attributes.FindingsThe outcome of the analysis showed growing interest in research on construction safety performance indicators since 2000. From the review, 48 safety performance indicators are identified from 41 selected publications. The most reported safety performance indicators were safety climate, safety orientation, management commitment to safety, near-miss and job site audits. It was noted further that USA, Australia, Canada and China have been international locations of attention for most research on construction safety performance indicators. The 48 safety indicators are classified into six categories, namely people indicators, culture indicators, processes indicators, infrastructure indicators, metrics indicators and technology indicatorsPractical implicationsThe findings identified provide researchers and practitioners a summary of the safety indicators in the construction sector through a vision to streamline future applications and increase the safety performance in the construction sector.Originality/valueA safety performance indicators' list has been established for the adoption of future empirical research. The findings will make a significant contribution to current but limited knowledge on safety performance indicators in construction industry.

“…The eventual interaction level is the sum of the interaction resulted from each state-based factor and then adjusted by the adjustment multiplier. The interaction resulted from each state-based factor is calculated using Equation (2) (adapted from the method proposed by Golovina, Teizer, & Pradhananga, 2016), considering two parameters, i.e., the factor's weight (significance) and severity (Wang & Razavi, 2018).…”

“…This framework takes a step forward by integrating all of the entities on the site into a connected network (i.e., as a system) in which their dynamic interactions and interrelationships are not overlooked. Accordingly, two safety leading indicators were explored particularly to represent the dynamic risk levels with respect to the struck-by hazard (Wang & Razavi, 2018). Four essential steps are included in the framework and explained in detail below.…”

The number of fatal injuries in construction was the highest compared to that in other industries for many years. Particularly, a large number of fatal injuries were caused by struck by hazards. Safety leading indicators are the continuous measurements of safety performance of construction work and offer multiple advantages for safety management. However, no safety leading indicators representing the risk levels, particularly, of struck by hazard were developed. Therefore, to monitor safety risk and prevent struck by hazards in a more effective and proactive manner, safety leading indicators representing the dynamic risk levels of individual entities (i.e., entity level) and the whole construction site (i.e., network level) were investigated. A network-based framework with two safety leading indicators for dynamic struck-by risk analysis was proposed. The two leading indicators in representing struck by risk levels were verified and examined using a controlled field experiment and two simulated scenarios.

Recognition of safety leading indicators is considered as an important part of safety management in construction projects to prevent hazardous accidents occurrence. In the available literature, the lack of a comprehensive proactive approach for assessing safety, based on active safety leading indicators is tangible. In this study, BIM and knowledge base are integrated to develop a safety management framework, then, this framework is implemented in a case study to assess its performance. Safety leading indicators are extracted from experts’ expertise, documents, and best practice, and then the relationships among safety leading indicators, activities, and their attributes are established; these pieces of knowledge are stored in a safety leading indicator knowledge base. To measure the impacts of these indicators on the project, a framework is developed to integrate the knowledge base and building information modeling (BIM). The developed add-on generates a heat-map to visualize the impacts of the safety leading indicators on a daily basis, and it also produces a textual result sheet. To verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the developed tool a survey from professionals is conducted. This tool provides a way to automatically assess the impacts of the safety leading indicators. Using its results, safety managers and project participants can make important decisions to reduce hazards. The results also indicate that accidents occurring in the construction site dropped by 38% after employing the presented framework.
