Sustainable Safety of Construction Sites

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to confirm that the submission portal is now open for an upcoming Special Issue on “Sustainable Safety of Construction Sites”, to be published in Sustainability.

Due to the nature of works done on construction sites, there are always risks and hazards that need to be managed in order to keep the sites safe for construction workers. Since the construction industry has been badly affected by COVID-19, strategies to sustainably maintain the safety of construction sites are emerging. Advanced technologies, together with traditional protections, are used on construction sites for safety purposes, aligning with the dynamic situation of COVID-19. In this context, the aim of this Special Issue of Sustainability titled “Sustainable Safety of Construction Sites” is to inspire scholars to continue conducting research on sustainable construction safety management in “the new normal”.  

Case studies, original research and experimental contributions, systematic reviews, and conceptual papers are welcomed. Full papers are invited in areas including but not limited to:

• Sustainable safety of construction sites;
• Sustainable construction technology;
• Energy efficiency;
• Sustainable resilience of disaster management;
• Mental health of construction workers;
• Multilocation construction management;
• Onsite stakeholder management.
