In terms of accidents at work and work-related illnesses, the construction sector ranks among the top three. Occupational health and safety (OHS) research is therefore increasingly prevalent in this sector. However, there is a lack of bibliometric analysis carried out on these studies. The aim of this study is to examine, through bibliometric analysis, the research carried out worldwide on accidents in the construction sector and the key points emphasized in these studies. Bibliometrix, an R-based software, was used to analyze the articles included in this study. Accordingly, 48,046 studies were identified in a search of the SCOPUS database using the term "occupational health and safety". The results of this study indicate that the documents cover the time period from 1990 to 2023 and are spread across 187 different sources, including journals, books, book chapters, and conference papers. With an annual growth rate of 3.39%, the average age of documents is 8.27 years. The safety climate and training are key issues in the studies. When examining the data, it can be observed that the majority of publications come from Australia. Within their respective groups, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Italy, Singapore, South Africa, China, Greece, and Indonesia are closely related. Canada and Spain are connected through other groups. The fact that the most cited study comes from Turkey and is one of the top publications indicates the high priority given to OHS in recent years.
