Integrating Occupational Safety and Health using Digital Technologies
The case of Building Information Modelling
About this book
This book is designed to help practitioners understand the growing potential for the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to improve Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) outcomes in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations sector. Through a series of cutting-edge practical cases, an international team of researchers and practitioners examine the benefits, barriers, and challenges associated with the introduction of new digital information technologies in OSH settings. Covering training, risk identification, site planning, site monitoring, emergency planning, and accident investigation, the book shows how the use of BIM paves the way for better streamlining of prevention planning, by making it more visible and understandable. The BIM applications presented allow for OSH to be closely linked to production, thus creating the conditions for an effective integration of OSH within the construction processes associated with building, operations, and management.
The book introduces BIM as an enabler of improved OSH performance in construction projects. Precise BIM applications are presented, which are directly related to OSH performance. Backed by research, the BIM applications are presented in a practical manner, making them easily applicable by the construction project professional, as well as informative for the academic researcher.
