Abstract
A bibliometric review on the evolution of research in occupational safety and health using the Scopus database is presented. 118 publications from the last 10 years were analyzed, identifying an average annual growth of 2.81% in scientific production. The review used Rstudio's Bibliometrix tool to explore keywords, co-authorships, and emerging themes. The results highlight the centrality of topics such as legislation, prevention and promotion of occupational health, while concepts such as artificial intelligence and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic emerge as for future research. The findings underscore the need for more robust and adaptive regulatory frameworks to improve workplace safety and address gaps in developing countries.
