Barriers to the Application of Digital Technologies in Construction Health and Safety: A Systematic Review
Construction is one of the most dangerous industries, with workers frequently exposed to hazardous environments, resulting in numerous occupational injuries and illnesses globally. While digital technology (DT) can improve construction health and safety management, there are barriers to its global adoption. This research examines these barriers in both developed and developing countries. A systematic review of 88 articles identified critical barriers, including technical issues, training and knowledge gaps, implementation challenges, data analysis limitations, and system efficiency problems. Standardising the use of new technology is challenging due to the constantly changing nature of construction projects. There is a lack of knowledge on increasing the use of DT in construction. Future research should focus on targeted strategies, pilot studies, and prioritising workers’ health to overcome context-specific barriers and maximise the benefits of these innovative tools to prevent injuries and improve health and safety management.
