The results show that the book has been cited extensively since its first edition appeared in 1931, that it is cited by authors in more than 50 countries/territories, especially by those in USA, China, and England, that the main institutions citing the book are the Delft Univ Technol and Univ Illinois, that the main authors citing the book are LI Qiming and SWUSTE P, researchers in the fields of construction safety and safety history, that the citations involve mainly the engineering, public, and environmental and occupational health areas, that the citing publications are on safety management, safety performance, construction industry and safety culture, by that the book has a deep influence on authors, territories/institutes, topics and related articles in safety science.

Key words: safety history, safety science, Heinrich, accident prevention, safe metrics
