This paper aims to address the gap in hazard identification and management in the construction industry by conducting a comprehensive literature review. The authors identified 18 safety hazards through a systematic review of 236 publications, categorized them into four groups (primary, physical, chemical, and ergonomic/other hazards), and ranked them based on their frequency of citation. Falls from heights, material and equipment handling, heavy machinery, electrocution, and struck-by incidents were found to be the most frequently cited hazards. The study also explored mitigation strategies, emphasizing the importance of personal protective equipment, effective training, and supervision. Advanced technologies such as virtual reality, BIM modeling, and wearable technology were suggested to enhance hazard identification and management. The findings will assist employers in identifying and managing safety hazards, reducing the risk of occupational accidents and injuries. Future research directions include further exploration of technology integration, psychological evaluations of workers, and the impact of hazards on mental health.This paper aims to address the gap in hazard identification and management in the construction industry by conducting a comprehensive literature review.
