Abstract
![CDATA[A significant quantity of literature has been dedicated to research studies on the prevention of workplace accidents in the construction industry. Researchers have discovered numerous underlying theories and one of those is safety training and education (STE). STE has been identified as a key support strategy in the prevention of construction accidents. There are many forms of STE and a number of ways to deliver them. However, literature on STE has shown a lack of analysis on the effectiveness of delivery methods and its effects on transferability. Through a systemic review of selected papers from well-known academic journals in construction management, education and psychology, major research areas were identified. These include factors affecting STE, delivery and evaluation methods for STE, effects of STE on transferability, effect of safety culture on STE and the level of cognitive engagement in the delivery of STE. Critical reviews on these areas are conducted to investigate the trends and the state of the art in STE research. Gaps in research and practice are discussed and future research directions are proposed. The outcome of this paper may provide a stage for researchers, industrial practitioners and training providers to discover the latest developments and trends in safety training and education.]]
