Abstract

Health, safety, and well-being are concepts of significant interest to construction researchers and practitioners. Although the interconnected nature of the three is acknowledged, there is confusion over their definitions, management practices and perceptions. Based on a critical literature review, this paper attempts to clarify the constructs of health, well-being and safety in construction and highlight their interrelationships by analysing the different management approaches and perceptions. The review reveals that the management of safety hazards in construction often overshadows health and well-being issues, increasing the growing gap between management's focus on demonstrating safety measurements and employees' focus on staying safe on site. The implications of the findings emphasize the need for an integrated approach that considers the interplay between health, safety, and wellbeing, enhancing workplaces conditions by addressing work design. This review contributes to the ongoing discussion on the importance of health, safety, and wellbeing in the construction industry.
