Abstract: This study presents a comprehensive empirical review of workplace safety, with discourse centred on examining the evolution of workplace safety practices, factors influencing workplace safety, emerging trends in workplace safety, and dimensions of workplace safety. The review deployed the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory perspective on workplace safety to examine how organisations can optimally align their safety engagements with the environmental dynamics of the contemporary workplace to attain a sustained competitive advantage. The narrative literature review methodology engaged for the study significantly provides relevant discourse to the topical interest in workplace safety by providing a synthesized narrative of relevant hindsight, insight, and forecast, highlighting the strategic essence for organizations to evolve safety practices to strategically fit with the changing workplace environment. Furthermore, the study unveiled the strategic significance of integrating safety as a core organisational priority and key success measure, which enhances employee performance and operational efficiency. The study positively enhances relevant knowledge on workplace safety by providing various thematic discourses on the variables influencing the workplace safety field and offering recommendations for future studies.
