5BIM has been undergoing continuous growth in the global architecture, engineering, and 6 construction (AEC) industry. However, knowledge development within BIM management is 7 lagging behind its implementation. This study initiates a BIM management-based framework 8 involving BIM climate, which is measured by individual BIM practitioners' perceptions. 9Subgroup comparison is highlighted in measuring perceptions. Regional variance in BIM 10 climate is addressed in applying the framework by adopting an empirical case study within the 11 context of China's AEC industry. The case study uses Shanghai and Wenzhou, which represent 12 a BIM-leading metropolitan city and a BIM-developing counterpart, respectively, for the 13 comparative analysis of BIM climate. Based on data collected from a questionnaire survey sent 14 to BIM practitioners from these two cities, it is revealed that Shanghai, as the BIM-leading city 15 in China, has somewhat significant differences in BIM climate compared with Wenzhou. For 16 example, Shanghai BIM practitioners perceive fewer challenges in BIM training, but higher 17

“…Since the focus of this paper is on safety planning, some of the identified risks have been defined and quantified in Hallowell & Gambatese [14] and Rozenfeld et al [15]. To further advance the stateof-the-art in safety engineering and management, some researchers recommend using positioning devices to locate construction resources and deliver pro-active safety information in real-time to mitigate a worker from entering a hazardous area [16][17][18][19].

Safety as well as productivity performance in construction is often poor due to congested site conditions. We lack a formalized approach in effective activity-level construction planning to avoid workspace congestion. The objective of this study is to investigate and prototype a new Building Information Modeling (BIM) enabled approach for activity-level construction planning that can proactively improve construction safety. The presented method establishes automated workspace visualization in a building information model, using workspace modeling as an integral part of construction safety planning. Algorithms were developed for extracting activity-specific workspace parameters from workforce location tracking data. Global Positioning System (GPS) data loggers were attached to the workers' hardhats during the stripping activities of formwork of columns. Workspaces were then visualized on a BIM platform. The developed method can support project stakeholders, such as engineers, planners, construction managers, and site workers with the identification and visualization of required and congested workspaces, hence improving the foundation on how decisions are made related to construction site safety and health, as well as its potential impact on a productive, unobstructed work environment.

Virtual environments for safety learning in construction and engineering: seeking evidence and identifying gaps for future research

Background: Injuries and fatalities resulting from work place accidents remain a global concern within the construction and engineering sectors. Education and training of personnel are two of the primary approaches for establishing a safe work environment. Virtual Environments (VE) are being increasingly investigated as a complementary approach for safety learning. Despite the proliferation of VE studies for safety learning, there is still limited evidence about their effectiveness or benefits, extent of coverage of the risk management process, and limitations. Methods: This articles poses the following research questions: (1) are VE providing an effective learning means to address safety risks in construction and engineering sectors?, (2) what are the areas that require improvement?, and (3) to what extent are VE addressing the established risk management process (i.e., risk identification, risk evaluation, risk response planning, and risk monitoring and control)? To address these the research questions, this research employs: (a) a systematic literature review and analysis of VE studies for safety learning; and (b) a gap analysis technique. Results: The findings suggest: (a) the evidence of the effectiveness of VE as an intervention for safety learning across the entirety of the risk management process are still limited; (b) 'risk identification', where learners improve their abilities to spot hazards, is the most investigated phase in the risk management process, (c) VE applications in other risk management phases (i.e. 'risk evaluation', 'risk response planning', and 'risk monitoring and controlling') receive very limited attention compared to the risk identification phase. Conclusion: The areas of recommendations for future research included the need to: (a) intensify real-life observational studies to provide evidence about the comparative performance of learners in VE against those of learners by other means through the setting of control groups; (b) extend studies to, and concurrently address, all the risk management phases; (b) intensify studies in other sectors including chemical, oil and gas, and manufacturing; (d) address human factors such as communication, language and cognitive distraction. An analysis of the limitations of current VE studies in each of the recommendation areas accompanied with suggestions for future research is proposed.
