Abstract

The construction industry has a high incidence of safety accidents. To reduce the incidence of safety accidents and avoid the high casualty rate caused by safety accidents, safety training methods have been proposed. Research has proven that safety training plays an important role in reducing worker injuries and fatalities. In recent years, researchers have conducted studies and published a number of findings. With the development of information technology and building industrialization, the current hot topics in the field of construction workers’ safety training should be summarized and future research directions should be identified. Thus, this paper comprehensively reviewed the literature on safety training in the construction industry and then used CiteSpace software to visually analyze the literature. The results of the CiteSpace analysis indicated that the hot research issues in the field of construction workers’ safety training include prevention, hazard recognition, and safety training based on computer information technology. Based on the literature analysis, this study proposed four future research directions: the research in addition to hazard recognition is suggested to be strengthened in the future; individualized training for different individual workers should be given enough attention; more in-depth research should be conducted on fall from height accidents, and how to assess the practical effectiveness of safety training is still needed research. This study is expected to serve as a resource for industry practitioners and research groups to address safety issues encountered in the construction industry.
