Science Mapping the Knowledge Domain of Construction Workers’ Safety Behavior

The examination of construction workers’ safety behavior (CWSB) is a critical factor in mitigating the occurrence accidents. This study conducted scientometric and review 3280 CWSB-related articles indexed Web Science database. Scientometric analyses (e.g., co-authorship, co-word, co-citation, citation-burst analysis, clustering) objectively visualized current research landscape, while identified key topics challenges within CWSB research. findings reveal that over half originates from three countries: USA, China, Australia. Concurrently, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, City University Kong, Michigan stand out as most productive institutions domain. It noteworthy China shows high burst strength 2022–2023, indicating development field gaining global attention. terms ‘performance’, ‘model’, ‘management’ appear with highest frequency, keywords such ‘deep learning’ ‘simulation’ have experienced an increase citations recent years. Furthermore, 13 co-citation clusters were identified, cluster analysis reviews converging on principal themes: ‘conception dimension’, ‘critical influence factors’, ‘emerging technologies’. also proposes gaps potential avenues for future investigation, including comprehensive understanding impact mechanisms, long-term efficacy interventions, incorporation novel technologies into programs. offers valuable insights extant pinpoints emerging trends this area. provides essential information industry policymakers, researchers, practitioners context assists stakeholders identifying comprehending patterns.
