Construction sites encompass hazardous activities, with workers facing numerous risks leading to unsafe working conditions. Traditional safety management methods often fail to address the dynamic nature of construction environments. Over the years, Building Information Modeling (BIM) and automation technologies have offered significant potential applications to improve construction site safety through hazard detection, real-time monitoring, and predictive risk assessments, to name a few. This study provides a comprehensive review of the BIM-driven approaches to prevent hazards on construction sites. This paper identifies key trends, technological advancements, challenges, and future research directions by synthesizing findings from various studies. This paper provides insights into how BIM, coupled with advanced safety technologies, can play a crucial role in transforming construction safety practices, reducing accidents, and optimizing project delivery.
