Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Construction workplaces are experiencing rapid changes as a result of digitalisation, globalisation, industrialisation and sustainability. The workplace changes have a significant impact on the ways that people work, the environments that they work in, and the conditions under which they do their everyday job. This Special Issue seeks to respond to the challenges to work health and safety (WHS) management in the construction industry brought by the workplace changes.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

  • Technology (e.g., digitalisation and ICT, automation and robotics) and WHS;
  • Sustainability and WHS;
  • Building resilience for WHS management;
  • Offsite construction and WHS;
  • Globalisation, cultural diversity and WHS;
  • Demographics (e.g., young workers, older workers and female workers) and WHS.

Original research, case studies and reviews are welcome for this Special Issue.
