About

Pravin Sreenivasan is a construction safety researcher whose work bridges the gap between emerging technologies and on-site hazard prevention. His primary research areas include occupational health and safety in construction, the application of Industrial Revolution 4.0 technologies, and digital transformation in the built environment. Sreenivasan’s most cited paper, “Health and Safety Improvement through Industrial Revolution 4.0: Malaysian Construction Industry Case” (2022, 45 citations), examines how advanced tools like robotics, automation, and IoT can mitigate the chronic risks faced by construction workers—a sector long plagued by high accident and disease rates. By demonstrating how IR 4.0 technologies can be practically deployed to enhance safety protocols, his work offers a data-driven roadmap for reducing fatalities and injuries on Malaysian construction sites. This contribution is particularly significant in a region where rapid urbanisation often outpaces safety regulations. Sreenivasan’s research not only highlights the transformative potential of smart technologies but also provides actionable insights for policymakers, contractors, and safety professionals seeking to modernise hazard management. His findings underscore a critical shift from reactive safety measures to proactive, technology-enabled prevention, marking him as a key voice in the global conversation on safer, smarter construction practices.
