Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Safety Planning

BIM is a concept that offers software technology application (app) that integrates digital building information for hazard identification and safety planning. It can virtual map a project lifecycle from design through procurement, construction, operation, and maintenance.


Risks Addressed:

Human error such as limited expertise or oversight of engineers or safety personnel during the safety planning, inspection, and monitoring can increase the risk of multiple hazards during different phases of construction projects.  These hazards include: (but are not limited to) falls, musculoskeltal injuries and illnesses, welding hazards, and struck-by injuries.


How Risks are Reduced:

By tracking and monitoring new variables introduced in dynamic working environments such as construction, BIM can improve health and safety through preliminary hazard identification and instilling prevention through design (ptd) components, such as prefabrication, to reduce the number of high-risk tasks.
