Human-Computer Interaction Empowers Construction Safety Management: Breaking Through Difficulties to Achieving Innovative Leap

This paper focuses on the application of human–computer interaction technology in construction project safety management. Through bibliometric methods, we carried out an in-depth analysis of 286 relevant papers from Web of Science and Google Scholar from 2000 to 2024. The research results indicate that human–computer interaction technology has achieved remarkable development in four aspects: intelligent monitoring systems, risk assessment and management, ergonomics and cognitive psychology, as well as computer simulation and virtual reality. Meanwhile, this research has given rise to a series of new research topics, such as the safety operation decision-making method for intelligent construction machinery, the application of human action behavior recognition technology, and the application of Internet of Things technology in the safety control of smart construction sites. Additionally, future research modules have been identified, including personalized safety training, digital twin technology, and multimodal data analysis. This study not only summarizes the existing research achievements but also puts forward targeted suggestions for future development trends in the field of construction safety management from a practical perspective, aiming to promote the in-depth application and development of human–computer interaction technology in construction safety management.
