Abstract：
The construction industry employs about 7% of global manpower and contributes about 6% to the global economy. However, statistics have depicted that the construction industry contributes significantly to workplace fatalities and injuries despite multiple interventions (including technological applications) implemented by governments and construction companies. Recently, immersive technologies as part of a suite of industry 4.0 technologies, have also strongly emerged as a viable pathway to help address poor construction occupational safety and health (OSH) performance.
With the aim of gaining a broad view of different construction OSH issues addressed using immersive technologies, a review on the application of immersive technologies for construction OSH management is conducted using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) approach and bibliometric analysis of literature. This resulted in the evaluation of 117 relevant papers collected from three online databases (Scopus, Web of Science, and Engineering Village).
The review revealed that literature have focused on the application of various immersive technologies for hazard identification and visualization, safety training, design for safety, risk perception, and assessment in various construction works. The review identified several limitations regarding the use of immersive technologies, which include the low level of adoption of the developed immersive technologies for OSH management by the construction industry, very limited research on the application of immersive technologies for health hazards, and limited focus on the comparison of the effectiveness of various immersive technologies for construction OSH management.
For future research, it is recommended to identify possible reasons for the low transition level from research to industry practice and proffer solutions to the identified issues. Another recommendation is the study of the effectiveness of the use of immersive technologies for addressing health hazards in comparison to the conventional methods.

摘要：
背景：建筑业雇用了约7％的全球人力，对全球经济的贡献约为6％。然而,统计数据表明，尽管政府和建筑公司实施了多种干预措施（包括技术应用），但建筑业仍对工作场所的死亡和伤害做出了重大贡献。最近,沉浸式技术作为一套工业4.0技术的一部分，也已成为帮助解决不良建筑职业安全与健康（OSH）绩效的可行途径。
方法：为了广泛了解使用沉浸式技术解决的不同建筑OSH问题，使用系统评价和荟萃分析(PRISMA)方法和文献计量分析的首选报告项目，对沉浸式技术在建筑OSH管理中的应用进行了综述。这导致对从三个在线数据库(Scopus，WebofScience,和工程村）。
结果：评论显示，文献集中于各种沉浸式技术在危险识别和可视化中的应用，安全培训,安全设计，风险感知，和评估各种建筑工程。审查确定了使用沉浸式技术的几个限制，其中包括建筑业对OSH管理所开发的沉浸式技术的采用程度低，关于沉浸式技术对健康危害的应用的研究非常有限，并且有限地关注各种沉浸式施工OSH管理技术的有效性比较。
结论：对于未来的研究，建议确定从研究到行业实践的低过渡水平的可能原因，并为已确定的问题提供解决方案。另一个建议是研究与常规方法相比，使用沉浸式技术解决健康危害的有效性。
