Falls at construction sites account for approximately 50% of all accidents reported in the US annually, making them the leading cause of injuries and fatalities. Although there have been several studies characterizing fall-related hazards and emerging technologies, a systematic review of literature examining the intersection of fall from height (FFH) risk factors and emerging technological solutions is missing. This paper addresses this gap by conducting a systematic literature review to investigate FFH risk factors and the use of technologies to prevent falls from heights on construction sites. The review analyzed 94 research articles published between 2002 and 2022 and identified the most common FFH hazards, including missing guardrails, lack of personal protective equipment, lack of knowledge and training, loss of balance and unsafe behavior, violation of safety rules, and poor site management. The review also revealed that individual technologies are insufficient to address most fall hazards, and there is a need for an integrated system of various technologies to improve fall prevention on construction sites.

在美国每年报告的所有事故中，建筑工地坠落约占 50%，是造成伤亡的主要原因。尽管已经有几项研究描述了与坠落相关的危险和新兴技术的特征，但缺少对检查从高处坠落 (FFH) 风险因素和新兴技术解决方案的交集的文献的系统回顾。本文通过系统的文献综述来调查 FFH 风险因素和使用技术来防止建筑工地从高处坠落，从而解决了这一差距。该评论分析了 2002 年至 2022 年间发表的 94 篇研究文章，确定了最常见的 FFH 危害，包括缺少护栏、缺乏个人防护设备、缺乏知识和培训、失去平衡和不安全行为，违反安全规则，现场管理不善。审查还显示，单项技术不足以解决大多数坠落危险，需要各种技术的综合系统来改善建筑工地的坠落预防。
