Abstract

The construction industry has become one of the industries with the worst safety record. Ergonomics has been increasingly applied in the health, safety, and environment (HSE) management field for construction workers. However, a thorough review of ergonomics application in HSE management research is unavailable. To examine the state of the art of this research area, this study uses CiteSpace to visually analyze 204 peer-reviewed ergonomics journal papers published from 2000 to 2021. By analyzing contributing journals, the most cited documents, keyword co-occurrence network, and keyword burst detection results, four stages of the literature indicating the research trends were identified and discussed in chronological order: (1) taking safety intervention measures from psychophysical methods; (2) using ergonomics method to consider and address the risk factors leading to safety accidents; (3) preventing musculoskeletal disorders by improved postures of construction workers from the perspective of human factors; and (4) combining mature and advanced technologies in ergonomics with HSE management. This study serves as a reference for the HSE management research of construction workers and recommends potential interdisciplinary areas for future research.
