Abstract
Over several decades, the building sector has been regarded as a high-risk sector with a low degree of creativity and a reluctance to adopt change. Likely reasons for building incidents include human misconduct, unsafe work practices, faulty machinery and dangerous working conditions. Furthermore, to have a better and safer operating climate, the company can take advantage of new health and safety technology. This paper seeks to investigate the use of various emerging innovations and how they can be used to improve health and safety in the construction of Highrise building projects. Detailed analysis of literature from previous researchers on new technologies and interventions for construction job site safety such as Virtual Reality (VR), online databases, Building Information Modelling (BIM), RFID, 3D Computer-Aided Design (3D CAD), 4D Computer-Aided Design (4D CAD), wearable robotics, and sensor-based technologies was carried out. It was evidenced from the analysis that not only the utilisation of these new technologies can contribute in improving health and safety in high rise building projects, but also the viability of their implementation in the building industry.
