| Summary: | The construction industry has always been regarded as a dangerous industry to work in, and the Malaysian construction industry is not exempted. Most safety and health studies conducted in this industry only view the overall factors contributing to the accidents or focus only on the main factor such as human behaviour. However, accidents actually happen based on the interaction between all the factors of the accidents at a construction site, and thus this study is conducted to identify the factors contributing to the accidents happening at construction sites and to classify them into their themes by using a systematic review method. This method is used to gather the empirical evidence regarding construction safety management by assessing academic journals mostly searched using keywords 'construction safety management', 'themes of accidents', 'factors of accidents' and 'System Dynamic' on academic journal databases known as 'Google Scholar', 'Science Direct' and 'Academia'. The findings of this study identified 18 factors that contribute to the accidents and are classified into four (4) main themes which are human factors, management factors, technical factors and also environmental factors. The themes and factors identified in this study would contribute to develop a construction safety management system using System Dynamic model that will show the complex interactions between all the factors according to their themes.
