This review identifies and categorizes construction safety hazards, their mitigation strategies, and the sectors they impact. The study analyzed 236 publications to identify 18 hazards, which were classified into four categories based on physiological impacts: primary, physical, chemical, and ergonomic/other hazards. Falls from heights, material handling, heavy machinery, and electrocution were the most frequently cited hazards, affecting all construction sectors. Mitigation strategies include personal protective equipment, training, and supervision. The study also highlights the importance of hazard identification in safety management and suggests the use of advanced technologies like BIM and virtual reality for hazard detection and prevention. The findings emphasize the need for continuous hazard identification throughout the construction process to reduce occupational injuries and fatalities. Future research should focus on improving hazard recognition and the application of emerging technologies in construction safety management.This review identifies and categorizes construction safety hazards, their mitigation strategies, and the sectors they impact.
