The construction industry is a high-hazard industry that comprises a wide range of activities involving construction, alteration, and/or repair and has a significant impact on the health and safety of the workers. Construction workers engage in many activities that may expose them to serious hazards, such as falling from rooftops, unguarded machinery, being struck by heavy construction equipment, electrocution, etc. To promote and maintain safety in the workplace, knowledge about the primary causes of accidents helps to assess the level of safety. Health and safety is a multi-step process that includes the workers at the site, nearby people, supervisors, managers, etc. Effective management of activities and competent site supervision are essential in maintaining healthy and safe conditions. In construction activities, especially, the greater the risk, the greater the degree of hazard control and supervision required. This Special Issue intends to provide an overview of the most recent advances in multidisciplinary research connected to occupational safety in the construction sector and the enhancement of safety.
