“…It can be concluded therefore that having the necessary WSH policies, programs and procedures in place are not sufficient to improve safety performance. The findings of this study are in line with the results of similar previous studies (Zhang et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2015a;Malekitabar et al, 2016;Zou et al, 2016), highlighting the need for a technological advance to improve safety performance in construction projects. Capitalizing on the promotion of BIM and DfS in the industry, an intelligent system using BIM was developed.…”

“…A group of researchers have used rule algorithm to develop construction safety ontology that enabled more effective inquiry on safety knowledge based on rules for job hazard analysis. They found that the links between construction safety management and information models are missing (Zhang et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2015b;Malekitabar et al, 2016;Zou et al, 2016). Numerous research works have explored the use of BIM to enhance safety performance (see Table 1) but none of these studies has attempted to apply the integration of BIM, DfS, ConSASS, Control Measure and Hazards Identification to enhance safety performance on construction sites.…”

Despite the safety improvement drive that has been implemented in the construction industry in Singapore for many years, the industry continues to report the highest number of workplace fatalities, compared to other industries. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the theoretical framework of the safety aspect of a proposed BIM System to determine a Safety Index. An online questionnaire survey was conducted to ascertain the current workplace safety and health situation in the construction industry and explore how BIM can be used to improve safety performance in the industry. A safety hazard library was developed based on the main contributors to fatal accidents in the construction industry, determined from the formal records and existing literature, and a series of discussions with representatives from the Workplace Safety and Health Institute (WSH Institute) in Singapore. The results from the survey suggested that the majority of the firms have implemented the necessary policies, programmes and procedures on Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) practices. However, BIM is still not widely applied or explored beyond the mandatory requirement that building plans should be submitted to the authorities for approval in BIM format. This paper presents a discussion of the safety aspect of the Intelligent Productivity and Safety System (IPASS) developed in the study. IPASS is an intelligent system incorporating the buildable design concept, theory on the detection, prevention and control of hazards, and the Construction Safety Audit Scoring System (ConSASS). The system is based on the premise that safety should be considered at the design stage, and BIM can be an effective tool to facilitate the efforts to enhance safety performance. IPASS allows users to analyse and monitor key aspects of the safety performance of the project before the project starts and as the project progresses.

“…Understanding how accidents occur is fundamental to identifying the main factors and choosing appropriate safety measures (Swuste 2008). As a construction project always starts with planning and design, followed by a construction stage lasting for months or years, and eventually reaching an operation period that lasts for decades before demolition (Zou et al 2017), decisions made upstream have inherent influences on other stages. Suraji et al (2001) studied the pattern of construction accident causation, compared with other distal factors, and found that planning and design work are the proximal factors leading to inappropriate site conditions, operative actions and construction operations.…”

Abstract.Regardless of potential benefits of design for safety (DFS) concept for lifecycle safety management in construction industry, DFS adoption as an early intervention has been slower than expected. While existing research mainly concentrates on construction and operation phases, the role of design phase in construction safety management is always ignored. To validate the influence of DFS concept on lifecycle safety performance, this research conducted an incident case analysis (ICA) based on 442 cases collected from lifecycle subway projects, and a subway design-incident classification model (SDICM) was developed to help identify their relationship to DFS concept. Network theory was applied to study the interdependence of 22 subsystems obtained from China's code for metro design in lifecycle safety performance. Research findings show 236 out of 442 accidents are linked to DFS. Compared with construction phase, operation phase is more susceptible to design work. Station Building (SB), Section Construction (SC), Platform Screen Doors (PSD), Vehicle Systems (VES) and Power Supply Systems (PSS) are identified as having the highest number of accidents. The results of network analysis are consistent with ICA and demonstrate the safety interdependence of subsystems. This research can help improve the cognizance of DFS, and the identified subsystems should be given priority in the design phase.

“…In the last step, all publications are analysed critically and being compare to identify current process, obstacles and future work to close these gaps. This strategy is also adopted by many previous studies, such as Zou et al [10] and Li et al [11]. The preconstruction phase of a project also known as planning and design phase [12].…”

Abstract. Pre-construction is one of the biggest areas of risk and uncertainty in construction project as it deals with subsurface ground conditions information. The amount of detail data needed in pre-construction especially for existing data modelling and site analysis should be sufficient enough to ensure that significant risks could not reasonably be anticipated. Current practicing method in interpreting data during this stage tasks reveal limitation. Construction industry faced many obstacles due to the depends on the traditional practice; paper-based document which missing and redundant data always happened. In recent years, there has been a shift in construction where people move to BIM application because of its potential to reduce the problem faced by infrastructure world. BIM has become a successful technology and widely popular in the construction world especially in developed countries because of its potential. Nowadays, people are moving one step ahead in BIM which is adoption of BIM during pre-construction stage. Thus, this paper review studies centered on BIM-integrated modelling during preconstruction stage. But there is lack of practical researches have been made during this stage. Although a large number of studies on BIM have been conducted in the past decade, a lack of consensus remains among researchers and practitioners regarding the applications of BIM during pre-construction stage, the availability of subsequent data integration tool for geotechnical activity. A comprehensive literature review was conducted for data collection and analysis. After in-depth review of journal articles widely cover the application of BIM, this study summarizes an overview and critical reflection of geotechnical data integration using BIM during pre-construction stage. The results are useful for the identification of research clusters and topics in the BIM community.
