<![CDATA[Workplace accidents that affect employees' safety and health continue to be a major problem in the construction industry. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in relation to workplace accidents and to develop strategies for risk management that can be implemented in the workplace. By examining pertinent national and international scientific publications that were published between 2020 and 2025 and that could be found using the Google Scholar and PubMed databases, the research methodology employs a literature review technique. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria are used in the PRISMA flow for literature selection. The study's findings demonstrate that human factors such as workers' age, discipline, attitude, and degree of knowledge are the primary determinants of PPE use compliance. Furthermore, the availability of ergonomic personal protective equipment (PPE), management assistance, and aspects of the work environment all contribute to a decrease in workplace accidents. Consistent K3 supervision, regular education and training, K3 sign installation, APAR provision, and worker participation in periodic inspections are all examples of effective risk control measures. It has been demonstrated that establishing a safety culture via the application of SOPs and efficient risk communication improves PPE use compliance. In conclusion, the number of work accidents in the construction industry can be considerably decreased by using PPE in a disciplined manner and with the help of an ongoing monitoring and education program. To establish a safe and healthy work environment, management, employees, and regulators must work together.]]>
