remains a significant concern. The AEC industry plays a more comprehensive role in creating and managing built environments, emphasizing design, planning, and efficient project execution.
Abstract - This research investigates hazards and risks
specific to maintenance activities in Industry 4.0. It includes firsthand observations from an industry visit, identifying potential hazards using the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) methodology. The research emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive safety approach for Industry 4.0, providing practical control measures and recommendations to mitigate maintenance-related risks. The outcomes highlight the transformative potential of Industry 4.0 and offer valuable guidance to stakeholders, policymakers, and practitioners. Implementing the research's recommendations enables organizations to navigate Industry 4.0 confidently, fostering a safe and efficient future.
Industry 4.0, also known as the fourth industrial revolution, involves the integration of advanced technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and cloud computing, into various sectors, including manufacturing. Construction 4.0 aligns with Industry 4.0 and implements similar technologies within the construction industry to enhance efficiency and innovation. The Industrial Revolution has evolved through several stages: 1.0 relied on human effort and steam-powered machines, 2.0 introduced electricity and more efficient machines, and 3.0 saw the rise of automation and electronics in production. Industry 4.0, the fourth revolution, focuses on Cyber-Physical Systems and leverages cutting-edge technologies to enable real-time data analysis and intelligent decision-making in manufacturing processes. The goal of Industry 4.0 is to integrate these technologies across all industrial sectors, leading to enhanced business performance and improved quality of life for workers. By embracing innovative techniques, companies can achieve flexibility, efficiency, and intelligence while reducing human effort and risks associated with tasks.

1.INTRODUCTION The construction industry in India is experiencing rapid growth, driven by urbanization and infrastructure development. It is projected to reach a market value of $1.4 trillion by 2025. The demand for residential construction is also increasing, with a need for 25 million mid-range and affordable housing units by 2030. India has allocated a substantial budget for infrastructure development under the National Infrastructure Pipeline, focusing on renewable energy, roads, highways, urban infrastructure, and railways. Initiatives like the Smart City Mission and the PMAY-U program are promoting modernized urban planning and construction technologies.
Safety is a critical consideration in both manufacturing and construction industries. The introduction of new technologies in Industry 3.0 increased the need for safety and security measures, which remain relevant in Industry 4.0. In the construction industry, safety considerations must permeate all phases of operations, and adherence to protocols and regulations is crucial to mitigate risks and protect workers and the public. The evolution of industrialization has led to improved workplace environments and better engagement between employers and employees in addressing health and safety issues. Advanced tools, risk management standards, and safer devices contribute to monitoring and controlling the work environment effectively. While challenges persist, Industry 4.0 offers the potential for further advancements in safety and efficiency across various industries.
However, this growth comes at a cost, as the construction industry has a concerning safety record. Accidents result in hundreds of fatalities among workers each year, with the construction sector accounting for a significant portion of these deaths. The AEC industry, which encompasses architecture, engineering, and construction, plays a broader role in designing, planning, managing, and maintaining built environments. It involves various professionals, including architects, engineers, construction managers, and tradespeople, who collaborate to create functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing structures. Quality control, safety, and effective project management are essential aspects of both the construction and AEC industries.
The research highlights how Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing maintenance practices for businesses. It highlights the following key points:
The construction industry in India is booming due to urbanization and infrastructure projects, but worker safety
