In-depth bibliometric analysis of construction safety risk evaluation

Scientific and practical risk evaluations play a vital role in quantifying safety risks and promoting the sustainable, long-term development of the construction industry. This paper adopted a bibliometric approach to analyse 322 publications on construction safety risk evaluation published over the past decade, as retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) database. Using CiteSpace (6.2. R3) for bibliometric analysis, this study presents a panoramic view of the research status in the field of construction safety risk evaluation. It also explores evolutionary trends and existing research gaps, uncovering deficiencies in the field of safety assessment and potential directions for development. This paper suggests a growing emphasis on the application of extended reality (XR), data mining, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, drones, and building information modelling (BIM), as well as the involvement of multiple stakeholders in the research and application of safety risk evaluation. These findings provide valuable insights for scientific research managers, policymakers, and scholars in this field, ultimately facilitating decision-making, optimising resource allocation, and accelerating the advancement of the discipline.
