Sumario:As new technological advances are incorporated within the construction sector, the construction industry is exposed to numerous new challenges regarding construction safety. This study probes a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method for the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) adopted within the construction projects. The study has been subgenre into three phases, i.e. Data Acquisition, Data Analysis, and Data Interpretation. Overall, 167 records were identified by filtering through Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Based on the filtered literature, a clustered network visualization diagram was developed in VOS viewer. Smart PLS was further used for a detailed analysis of acquisition data. The study produced a conceptual model evaluation based on Smart PLS and recommends focusing on its role in safety, safety instruction and exercise, workers monitoring mechanism, and workers safety problems. The maximum R2 value for the construct safety instruction and exercise was 0.815 generated by this analysis results.
