To comprehensively and systematically explore the latest progress and frontier hotspots in high-formwork construction safety research, this study selected 450 journal papers indexed in the CNKI database from 2015 to 2024 as analysis objects. Through constructing knowledge maps using CiteSpace software, key indicators including annual publication volume, authors, research institutions, and keywords were analyzed, thereby revealing the research status and frontier trends in this field. The results indicate: Annual publications exhibit distinct fluctuations, with development stages divided into rapid growth and fluctuating decline phases; Regarding authors and institutions, collaboration networks remain relatively sparse with low interaction frequency, lacking prominent core authors. Research institutions are primarily construction enterprises, where Chinese construction companies demonstrate dominant contributions; Research hotspots concentrate on high-formwork systems, construction technology, building engineering, and safety management, forming a comprehensive control framework integrating "technical measures" and "safety management"; Future research should emphasize the synergy among technological innovation, practical implementation, and management system optimization to effectively reduce accident rates and promote continuous improvement in industry safety standards.
