Abstract

Safety incentives are crucial to motivate construction workers due to the inherent opportunity to improve workers' safety behaviour and performance. The concept has generated debate among construction stakeholders about its effectiveness in executing construction projects. Therefore, through systematic review, this study advances the knowledge of safety incentives by exploring the construction industry's approaches to safety incentive design. This could help identify attributes and constructs for developing the safety incentives model. Relevant studies were identified for review by literature search using keywords and concepts related to this study. The thematic areas of discourse include the health and safety issues in construction project delivery, approaches to safety incentive schemes, theoretical understanding of safety incentives, and study implications. Thus, the review focuses on understanding the essential approaches to safety incentives in designing and implementing effective safety incentive schemes within construction organisations in the construction industry.
