Abstract
As existing studies have shown, the barriers to implementing safety-leading indicators in civil engineering projects are multifaceted. These barriers encompass various categories, such as management commitment, safety culture, behaviour, and awareness. Safety management, which involves a range of formal and informal practices, is pivotal in preventing occupational accidents and injuries. Meanwhile, adopting a proactive approach to safety has been observed to aid in accident prevention and workers' safety. This study identifies and highlights the barriers that hinder the implementation of safety-leading indicators in civil engineering projects by reviewing existing literature. Identifying these barriers provides insights into achieving safety in the construction industry. In addition, it is a step closer to addressing this issue to achieve the safety and well-being of workers in the construction industry.
