N2 - As the construction industry seeks to improve health and safety practices, there are increased barriers to designing and implementing safety incentive schemes among construction firms. Hence, it becomes essential to identify and understand barriers to the design and implementation of safety incentive schemes to abate the problems encountered in project delivery. This study systematically reviews the extant literature on barriers to safety incentive scheme design and implementation to further enrich the knowledge gap about its application in the construction industry. The study identified relevant studies using keywords safety incentive definitions, concept, construction industry, health and safety practices, and barriers to safety incentives. The thematic areas of discourse include the safety incentives concept in the construction industry, barriers to safety incentives design and implementation in the construction industry, the study’s implication and conclusion and recommendations. The study findings indicate that the significant barriers to the design and implementation of safety incentive schemes in the construction industry are construction firms’ systems of governance; conflicting performance goals setting; employees’ inadequate knowledge of SI; absence of a national safety incentive policy; conflicting SI selection process; and lack of incentive funding planning. Conclusively, this study recommends measures to improve the administrative processes of safety incentives design and implementation in the construction industry.
