This study applies a three-stage slack-based data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) model to assess the construction safety performance (CSP) in 30 provinces and cities in China, aiming to enhance the sustainable development of construction safety in the industry. The findings reveal that the supervision environment has a greater impact on the sustainable development of construction safety than the level of socio-economic development. The regional distribution of construction safety management levels has significantly changed, with the original pattern of East > West > Central > Northeast shifting to East > Central > Northeast > West. High-efficiency values of safety performance in certain regions are influenced by external environmental (EE) pressure, while low-efficiency values cannot be solely attributed to a lack of willingness to implement safety management.
This article employs a three-stage slack-based data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) model to evaluate the construction safety performance (CSP) of 30 provinces and cities in China, focusing on enhancing the sustainable development of construction safety in the industry, in line with the concept of sustainable development. The research findings indicate that the supervision environment of each province and city exerts a more substantial influence on the sustainable development of construction safety compared with the level of socio-economic development. Significant changes have been observed in the regional distribution of construction safety management levels within the construction industry by eliminating the impact of economic development, the supervision environment, and random errors. The original pattern of East > West > Central > Northeast has shifted to East > Central > Northeast > West. Moreover, it has been discovered that high-efficiency values of safety performance in certain provinces and cities are partially attributed to external environmental (EE) pressure. In contrast, low-efficiency values cannot be solely attributed to their lack of willingness to implement safety management. Finally, the article proposes strategies, including government policy-led approaches, technology prioritization, and management prioritization, to enhance the sustainable development of construction safety in the construction industry based on the internal safety performance of each province.
