Abstract

The low occupational health and safety performance faced by the construction industry impacts countries' gross domestic product and brings financial losses to companies and workers. In this context, several predictive models using machine learning (ML) have been developed using historical data on construction accidents. However, there is still no consensus on the types of attributes that should be input into these models to achieve more assertive predictions. Therefore, this paper aims to survey and categorize the most commonly used attributes in predictive models using ML. To this end, a systematic review aims to identify the main research of accident predictive models. The findings show six main categories of attributes; the most frequent attributes were those related to workers, organization, and safety management.  Thus, this paper aims to define what types of data related to accidents should be collected to assist in predicting accidents and consequently improving safety performance.
