Abstract

Despite the continuous improvement of safety standards in the construction industry, this sphere remains one of the most hazardous sectors, and safety management is becoming a crucial determinant of effective operation at construction sites. The aim of this study is to identify the essential contextual, evolutionary-chronological, and geographical-industrial scientific landscape of the development of safety management in the construction industry through comprehensive bibliometric analysis. More than 15,000 articles indexed by Scopus from around the world from 2000 to 2023 were analyzed using the VOSviewer tool, filtered by keywords such as “construction,” “safety,” and “management.” The research revealed the intensification of publishing activity since 2012 (with peak growth in 2012, 2020, and 2022). The leading scientists are from China, the United States, and the United Kingdom (e.g., Chinese scientists make up 26.1% of all scholars). The majority of papers are in the field of engineering. Priority areas of research include safety climate, safety behavior, and building information modeling. The closest connections of construction safety management are with the study of professional risks, safety techniques, and quality control. The evolution of research focuses on “human health and safety-risks-digital security systems.” In general, the findings of this study provide a foundation for future research aimed at enhancing safety management in the construction field, potentially increasing worker protection and technical operational efficiency.

建筑业的安全管理：文献计量分析

尽管建筑业的安全标准在不断提高，但这一领域仍然是最危险的行业之一，安全管理正成为建筑工地有效运作的关键决定因素。本研究旨在通过全面的文献计量分析，确定建筑行业安全管理发展的基本背景、演变时间顺序和地理行业科学格局。使用 VOSviewer 工具，通过 "建筑"、"安全 "和 "管理 "等关键词筛选，对 Scopus 索引的 2000 年至 2023 年全球 15,000 多篇文章进行了分析。研究显示，自 2012 年以来，出版活动不断加强（2012 年、2020 年和 2022 年为增长高峰）。主要科学家来自中国、美国和英国（例如，中国科学家占所有学者的 26.1%）。大多数论文涉及工程学领域。重点研究领域包括安全氛围、安全行为和建筑信息建模。建筑安全管理与专业风险、安全技术和质量控制的研究联系最为紧密。研究的发展重点是 "人类健康与安全-风险-数字安全系统"。总体而言，本研究的结论为今后旨在加强建筑领域安全管理的研究奠定了基础，有可能提高工人保护和技术操作效率。
