Abstract

Purpose: Asbestos-containing materials are often found at construction sites, and long-term exposure to accumulated asbestos can increase the risk of asbestos-related diseases, including asbestosis. The present study aimed to further describe the exposure to asbestos in construction workers and the risk of asbestosis, as well as the management and prevention of asbestos exposure. Methodology: The narrative review method was used to conduct this study with a comprehensive literature search of the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Results: According to the review, we finally found that many materials in the construction sector contain asbestos and have the potential to spread asbestos fibers into the air and can be inhaled by workers. Cumulative asbestos exposure that occurs in high doses over a long period of time will cause an increases the risk of asbestos-related diseases, including asbestosis. Apart from asbestos exposure, several other factors, such as genetics, smoking, sex, age, and physiology, are closely related to the occurrence and development of asbestosis. The construction sector has the highest exposure to asbestos compared to other sectors or industries and has a high number of asbestosis cases. Thus, it is necessary to provide precautions for workers, such as the use of adequate personal protective equipment of international standards, the presence of health inspectors, and routine checks on workers' health, as well as management of materials or construction waste containing asbestos. Limitations: This study is limited to describing general exposure to asbestos-containing materials and the increased risk of asbestosis in construction workers. Future research regarding further analysis of causal factors, management, and prevention of asbestos exposure, as well as case reports and mapping of asbestosis cases, especially in Indonesia, where related research is still limited, may be warranted. Contribution: This review can be used as a basic reference for conducting further research regarding asbestos exposure to workers and the prevention and management of asbestos-containing materials at construction sites.

Abstract

The construction sector is one of the industries that has a high risk of occupational accidents. Therefore, preventing accidents from occurring is crucial, one of which is by identifying the factors caused. The present study aims to review articles published in the last 10 years to identify and analyze factors related to the incidence of occupational accidents in the construction sector. A systematic search method was conducted until December 2023 on the following databases: Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. A total of twenty-three articles were included in this review with all articles being original research and discussing factors that contribute to occupational accidents in the construction sector. Our findings show that there are several factors influencing an increase in occupational accidents, namely individual factors, including male gender, younger age, lack of work experience, not long working period, being married, poor level of work safety knowledge, absence of occupational safety training, low level of education, and job dissatisfaction; unsafe action factors, including not using personal protective equipment (PPE) or using inappropriate PPE, not following work safety regulations, applying inappropriate standard operational procedures (SOPs), and fatigue; unsafe condition factors, including the absence of occupational safety and health (OS&H) supervision and inappropriate installation of safety signs; environmental factors, including thermal stress, interference, smooth surfaces, work platform height, and extreme temperature changes during summer and winter; psychological and occupational stress factors, including high time pressure, high workload, poor work schedule, and violence and bullying perpetrated by co-workers or supervisors; and defective equipment factors. In conclusion, individual, unsafe actions, unsafe conditions, environmental, psychological and occupational stress, and defective equipment factors have a significant influence on occupational accidents at construction sites.
