Abstract
This paper synthesizes a wealth of literature to elucidate the pivotal role of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology in advancing safety management within the construction industry. Employing a range of methodologies, including systematic reviews, bibliometric analyses, and empirical studies, the research investigates the impact of BIM on hazard identification, safety training, and overall safety planning. The study extends its focus to other technological interventions, such as IoT and machine learning, in conjunction with BIM, to create a holistic safety management system. Insights from diverse geographical contexts, including China and Egypt, contribute to a global understanding of safety practices. The findings underscore BIM's efficacy in integrating safety measures from design to construction, with a potential for widespread adoption in both developed and developing countries.
