Abstract: The construction industry, responsible for shaping the modern world through iconic structures and critical infrastructure, faces a troubling challenge – a high frequency of occupational accidents. These accidents not only imperil workers’ lives but also impose significant economic and environmental burdens. This paper delves into the multifaceted realm of construction site safety and risk management, with a particular focus on the risks associated with construction project monitoring. It explores existing literature, emphasizing the role of organizational management, worker involvement, safety systems, and cultural factors in fostering a safety-oriented environment. Additionally, it reviews studies from various countries, shedding light on diverse factors affecting construction site safety. Beyond human factors, the paper highlights risk inherent in construction projects, emphasizing the need for proactive risk management. The paper concludes by acknowledging the gravity of construction site accidents and their far-reaching consequences, underscoring the importance of holistic risk management strategies.
