Abstract: The frequent occurrence of construction safety incidents has had a significant negative impact on economic and social development, posing difficulties to the stability of China's economy and society. The research aims to comprehensively analyse the primary categories of significant construction safety accidents, applying as Structural equation modelling (SEM) model to identify the indicators that influence construction safety management. Five construction safety management influencing factors were identified, which are: supervision of building construction, management of construction equipment and protective facilities, construction culture, safety climate, and construction environment. After completing the model correction, the results show that the total effects of these five main factors: supervision of building construction, construction culture, construction environment, management of construction equipment and protective facilities, and construction safety climate on the level of construction safety management are 0.427, 0.48, 0.249, 0.225, and 0.058, respectively. These influencing factors will directly or indirectly have a positive effect on the level of safety management of building construction, and the final result of the building construction safety management depends on the joint effect of these main influencing factors. Improvement solutions is proposed by incorporating intelligent technologies to address safety issues in the construction industry.
