Systematic Review of Hazard Identification and Risk Control Practices in Urban Construction Projects
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Urban Construction Projects

Abstract
This systematic review examines hazard identification and risk control practices in urban construction projects. Urban construction projects inherently face a complex range of risks due to the dynamic nature of the urban environment, including challenges related to site conditions, regulatory compliance, worker safety, and environmental impacts. The aim of this review is to critically analyze existing methodologies and practices for hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control in urban construction settings. The study synthesizes findings from various research studies, industry reports, and case studies, highlighting the techniques employed to identify hazards, the tools used for risk assessment, and the control measures implemented to mitigate risks. Furthermore, the review evaluates the effectiveness of these practices in reducing accidents and enhancing safety performance. It also identifies gaps in current research and provides recommendations for improving risk management frameworks in urban construction projects. The paper concludes by suggesting a unified approach that integrates technological innovations, regulatory frameworks, and industry best practices to enhance safety standards and minimize risks in future urban construction projects.
