Overview

Exploratory assessment reveals key factors for safety performance in Saudi construction, highlighting technology's role.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the perceived importance of safety performance factors and Industry 4.0 technologies in the Saudi construction industry.
  • Data were collected from 68 construction engineering professionals using a structured questionnaire covering 50 safety-related factors.
  • Factors were analyzed using the Importance Index (I) method, with results reported as descriptive prioritisations.
  • Top-rated factors included lack of management commitment (I = 91.2%) and inadequate safety training (I = 89.7%).
  • Management-related factors had the highest mean importance (I = 81.7%) compared to other domains.
  • Extreme heat was identified as a leading environmental risk (I = 81.7%), emphasizing the need for climate-specific interventions.
