This research explores real-time Internet of Things (IoT) methods to track and mitigate construction site hazards. The construction industry must innovate due to its high accident rate to protect workers. It uses IoT to create a system that watches the construction site and discovers real-time safety issues. The system uses sensors across the construction site to monitor worker location, equipment operation, ambient conditions, and structural integrity. In real-time, the IoT identifies potential threats from this data. Workers, supervisors, and other users receive timely alerts about dangers, enabling quick and focused mitigation. The system's proactive approach to building site safety reduces accidents, injuries, and deaths. With real-time IoT solutions, potential hazards can be discovered early and addressed quickly. Data collection and analysis allow the system to improve safety protocols and practices over time. It highlights the importance of real-time IoT technologies in construction site safety management. IoT devices improve hazard tracking and identification and safety culture by fostering proactive actions and informed decision-making. As buildings embrace digital transformation, this study enables safer and more efficient procedures. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
