Abstract

Construction workplaces are experiencing rapid changes as a result of digitalization, globalization, industrialization, and sustainability. The workplace changes have a significant impact on the ways that people work, the environments that they work in, and the conditions under which they perform their everyday job activities. This Special Issue was motivated by the need to understand and explore how the trends and changes within construction workplaces, such as technological innovations, sustainability, organizational resilience, offsite construction, cultural and demographic diversity, influence or shape the work health and safety (WHS) management and practices in the construction industry. This Special Issue collected six articles that addressed different aspects of construction workplace trends and evaluated their impacts on WHS practices and performance.
