Abstract

The presence of effective safety leadership significantly impacts how workers perceive the significance of safety in the workplace. Safety environment is to the collective attitudes of employees regarding an organization's safety-related policies, practices, and procedures that indicate the importance placed on safety (Omidi et all., 2022; Omidi et all., 2021; Zohar and Luria, 2010). The contractors are responsible for upholding two specific types of safety leadership, with a particular emphasis on transformational leadership. This study use the literature review  according to PRISMA guidelines. The necessity of safety leadership in construction projects, particularly in the context of contractor safety management. Safety leadership is considered as a vital aspect in persuading workers to adopt safe behaviors, decreasing accidents, and increasing overall safety performance. The studies show the positive influence of safety leadership on safety compliance, engagement, and safety outcomes, and the need of addressing the safety leadership styles of all stakeholders engaged in a construction project, including owners, contractors, and subcontractors.
