Abstract

The adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies offers considerable potential to enhance occupational safety and health (OSH) in modern methods of construction (MMC). Maturity models provide a structured approach to guide this transition effectively. Although the previous studies have focused on the development of maturity models for Industry 4.0, OSH management, and MMC, there is a lack of a comprehensive review that thoroughly evaluates and compares the existing maturity models related to Industry 4.0, OSH, and MMC. To fill the mentioned gap, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, which identified 30 pertinent articles from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases. This SLR determined the research principle, model development method, and model structure. This state-of-the-art review offers both theoretical and practical contributions. It provides a theoretical contribution by systematically analysing maturity models associated with Industry 4.0, OSH, and MMC, highlighting existing gaps and establishing a foundation for creating a unified framework to evaluate readiness and improve safety outcomes in prefabricated construction. Regarding practical contributions, the review can pave the way for construction managers and safety officers to assess their organisations’ current maturity level towards implementing Industry 4.0 technologies for improving OSH within MMC.
