**3. Methodological approach to the study**

Even though many studies have been conducted on risk identification and management on construction sites, none have examined how socio-technical systems of risk management affect construction projects. The study identifies risks and unsafe site practices through literature review, so that effective risk management can be enforced on construction sites through digital visualisation. Through the review, risk identification methods and unsafe site practices were examined qualitatively, and the results analysed. The identification techniques were discussed based on the views of various authors in the reviewed literature.

 The process of reviewing started with gathering relevant information from books, articles, and websites about risks and unsafe practices on construction sites. Through this search, the first objective was achieved, and the results of the literature review helped identify other methods addressing risks and unsafe site practices. From the identified methods, the fourth technique, PESTLE analysis, identified risks based on political, economic, socio-cultural, technological, legal, and environmental factors. The PESTLE analysis provided a powerful insight into risks from various angles and how some systems interact with risk management. Thus, achieving the second objective. The study also discussed the socio-cultural aspect of risk management based on PESTLE analysis classification including their interaction with socio-technical systems. This helps to achieve the third objective of addressing digital visualisation for risk management from socio-technical perspectives. **Figure 2** depicts the study's methodology approach.
