Abstract: Abstract Building safety has become a serious and important topic for the development of the construction industry, as well as for the preservation of contractors' and workers' lives and property. With the development and expansion of a sensitive and complex monitoring system for the safety of buildings, allowing accidents to occur is no longer acceptable. Therefore, risk management identifies potential hazards before any operations take place, and the safety system operates based on a planned, organized, and systematic process known as "pre-incident." This plan is based on the analysis-control method. Failure to utilize risk management methods and the acceleration of the construction industry can lead to a decrease in the safety of residents and introduce unpredictable risks. While nowadays risk management is less utilized for project control, contractors face numerous problems after construction. Lack of resources and facilities in this regard can be problematic, but emerging building technologies, which are slowly being identified, can solve and separate most of the industry's safety issues. Therefore, utilizing innovative building technologies not only enhances quality, speed, and cost reduction in construction but also contributes significantly to industrialization and the reduction of risks resulting from deteriorated structures towards building safety. In this study, the extraordinary effects of innovative technologies on building safety have been examined, and the relationship between risk management and innovative technologies has been investigated using a questionnaire. The impacts of all risk management and safety aspects are examined in this research, which ultimately resulted in clarifying the direct and meaningful connection between risk management and safety with modern technologies and determining the necessary corrective measures to improve building safety performance through the use of innovative building technologies.
