建筑行业已经经历了无人机（UAV）（称为无人机）在各种建筑应用中的快速集成，因为它们在可访问性，可靠性，准确性和低成本方面的普遍地位。鉴于危险易发建筑工地的动态性质，无人机的快速扩散可能会带来额外的操作复杂性，危险和相关的安全风险。这些安全问题是在缺乏建造专用无人机标准指南和有效降低风险的策略的情况下出现的。尽管无人机有着显著的好处，但它可能会使工人暴露在各种不必要的工作场所危险中，特别是在人口密集的建筑工地周围作业时。本研究旨在（1）探索目前对无人机相关安全风险的认识，（2）识别建筑工人暴露的潜在风险。与工人和财产的碰撞已被发现是无人机采用的关键安全风险。在这种情况下，由于研究的稀缺性，有一个基本上缺乏与无人机应用相关的施工安全的理解。预期业内专业人士及从业员可从所提供的资料中获益，以有效地应对安全风险及制定适当的控制措施，从而透过预防意外确保安全营运。
The construction industry has experienced a significantly rapid integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), (known as drones) within multifarious construction applications due to their prevalent stature in accessibility, reliability, accuracy, and low-cost. Given the dynamic nature of the hazard-prone construction sites, the rapid proliferation of UAVs potentially incorporates additional operational complexities, hazards, and associated safety risks. These safety implications are emerging in the absence of construction-specific UAV-standard guidelines and strategies for effective risk mitigation. Despite the remarkable benefits, UAVs can expose workers to a wide range of unwarranted workplace hazards, especially when operating around densely populated construction sites. This study aims to (1) explore the current understanding of the UAV-associated safety risks and (2) identify the potential risks to which construction workers are exposed. Collisions with workers and properties have been found to be the key safety risks of UAV adoption. In this context, due to the scarcity of studies, there is a substantial lack of construction-based safety understanding relevant to UAV applications. It is expected that the industry professionals and practitioners can benefit from the presented information to effectively address the safety risks and develop appropriate control measures to ensure safe operation by preventing accidents.
