Research on Safety Control and Risk Management in Construction Engineering: Progress, Challenges and Strategies

Dear Colleagues,

The impact of risk control in the execution of engineering projects, approached from an integral prism, identifies vulnerabilities and threat elements that compromise the safety of the different phases of the work. Given the great complexity of risks that can threaten the construction system, it is necessary to provide tools that control and manage the management structures of the processes that will help to reduce the probability of risk and its consequences. In this context, it is important to make technological and strategic advances that guarantee an optimal safety management scenario in all phases of the engineering project.

Therefore, we present this Special Issue entitled "Research on Safety Control and Risk Management in Construction Engineering: Progress, Challenges and Strategies" motivated by the growing interest in advancing new technologies and innovative approaches to reduce occupational accident rates in the construction industry of engineering projects.

Manuscripts appearing in this Special Issue will cover original and high-quality research, case studies and technology development. Relevant topics to be addressed in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Risk management in engineering works using BIM technology.
• Artificial intelligence in the management and control of safety in engineering works.
• New simulations and risk management models applied to engineering works.
• Advances in the integration of safety in engineering works.
• Application of scheduling technology to safety control in engineering works.
• The use of agile methodologies in risk management in engineering projects.
