“…Among others, BIM can be used to improve safety performance (Benjaoran and Bhokha, 2010;Choi, Choi and Kim, 2014). In Singapore, where it is now a compulsory requirement for building plans to be submitted to the authorities for approval in BIM format, its potential should be maximized.…”

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.

How can BIM support Construction Safety Management? Development of SIM

Abstract. BIM is continuously changing the way construction can be approached, from design, scheduling, costing to facilities management. However, even though construction safety is a worldwide issue, and though previous, yet limited, studies have proven its great potential, BIM has not been extended to include automated construction safety management functions, i.e., hazard identification, assessment and control for construction works. In fact, as many as 71% of safety incidents can be prevented by safety considerations at design stage. Automation via BIM is the key to enhance effectiveness and efficiency of safety management, but development of Safety Information Modelling (SIM) is the key pre-requisite. This paper aims to outline a research project for developing both information and technical requirements for SIM via questionnaire survey, focus group, and real case studies. The project results, to be validated by real projects, will act as solid platform for developing:-i) Practical guidance to construction and safety professionals on the types of safety management a SIM can conduct, and the ways of utilizing the safety information in a SIM model [based on the systematic SIM information requirements (e.g., object identification, geometry attributes, safety rules)]; and ii) Overall guidance to software developers to develop appropriate SIM tools for different scenarios [based on the systematic SIM technical requirements (e.g., model information exchange, visualization, conflict analysis process for risk assessment, reliability)].

“…These "intelligent" objects and BIM's open structure make virtual design and construction possible [4]. For space representation, BIM effectively integrates design and construction [20] [7], visualizes workspaces and spatial relationships [19] [18] [21], simplifies design and schedule update [11], and automates data processing and analysis [3].…”

-Limited space availability is a common issue faced by construction projects and it has great impact on project productivity and safety performance. Effective management of space is challenging due to the highly dynamic and complex nature of construction site environment. Among them is space modeling, i.e. how to capture and visualize the time-phased site space that is constantly evolving. This paper reviews the state-of-art in space modeling studies in thirty publications. These studies are comparatively evaluated based on their methodology, technology basis, applications, maturity, and implementation. Manual processes and techniques have been traditionally used to document as-built site conditions. New space modeling has evolved from this manual, subjective, and 2D format to a more accurate, automated, and integrated approach using technologies, such as photo-modeling, 3D laser scanning, point cloud modeling, and building information modeling. This review provides a better understanding of major shifts of technologies and applications in space modeling research, meanwhile identifies promising areas for future research. Keywords -Construction site, space modeling, state of the art, literature review.
