Implementing advanced technology practices in construction safety management in Malaysia / Muhammad Arifin Morsalin

The construction industry is well-known for being a high-risk profession in many ways, particularly in terms of safety and health. Despite the extensive efforts made by all parties involved in the construction industry to raise awareness and improve the level of safety and health in building projects, accidents continue to occur on construction sites. On-site safety procedures, policies, and laws may already be in place; nevertheless, the effectiveness of their execution is still questionable. The use of technology has proved to aid in the reduction of the number of accidents that occur on construction sites as well as the overall management of construction safety. This article offers an overview of many sorts of technological applications (3D and 4D visualization, ICTs, real-time tracking systems, RFIDs, and remote sensing) for an efficient construction workstation implementation and improvisation which numerous researchers around the world have proposed and studied in accordance with traditional examination carried out. The data collected can be used to identify some of the applications that can be used on Malaysian building projects. The suggested technology may successfully assist construction players in reducing the number of incidents and, as a result, elevating the safety and health elements of the Malaysian construction industry to a higher level.
