“…BIM-based modelling and 4D simulation allow design engineers to exercise various design alternatives that best address safety issues, as well as determining whether any proposed design change is integrated into final construction plans. BIM can even include automated safety rule-checking algorithms for identifying potential hazards [7] or integrating BIM with other technology such as location tracking and augmented reality as part of integrated construction safety management and visualization system [8].…”

Abstract. The advancement of computer technology allows the construction education to exploit the various teaching strategies. Unlike other engineering subjects, teaching construction subjects often requires media beyond traditional class room environment that would enable the creation of field-like construction atmosphere. Construction visualization allows students to exercise and experience various field settings that are too difficult to deliver using traditional teaching approach. This paper aims at describing an attempt to develop and implement building information modelling (BIM) as a platform for teaching construction safety. Using BIM technology students can learn various aspects of safety in construction, which are typically hidden from project documents. Visualization features in BIM are utilized by students to help them identifying potential hazard, unsafe acts, and unsafe conditions in a simulated construction project. The result shows that students are more aware and capable to identify any potential hazard and related safety regulations of construction plan and design pertinent to specific site conditions than that if they were only equipped with a set of construction drawings and specifications.

“…Through combining with BIM, Choudhry developed existing management techniques for safety improvement for the construction company and evaluated their effectiveness on a construction site in Hong Kong [20]. Zhang et al developed an automated rule-checking framework that integrated safety into BIM effectively and provided practitioners with a method for detecting and preventing fall-related hazards [21,22]. Zhou et al proposed a five-step framework for analyzing safety management during the building construction [23].…”

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a methodology for managing the essential data and information in digital format throughout a building life cycle. During the building operation process, engineers can establish a detailed information database of structural components for structural hazard prevention analysis based on the BIM model. In this paper, the definitions and rules of geometrical and non-geometrical information of structural components are studied, which play an important part in preventing a building from damage under the effect of some potential disasters. Based on the analysis of information integration mode of BIM, a preliminary database framework of main components is proposed for structural hazard prevention analysis. The framework provides an integrated workflow and method for extracting information of structural components from BIM model. As combining with existing intelligent building management system or Internet platform, the framework contributes to developing an application platform for obtaining the key data and information of main components during the structural hazard prevention analysis.

“…Examples of technology-oriented solutions include efforts such as sharing safety knowledge using a mobile device [9], real-time data collection and visualization technology for construction safety [10] and [11], safety assessment of construction site using geographic information systems (GIS) [12], visionbased recognition of construction equipment and hazard detection [13], game technology combined with visualizing safety assessment [14], autonomous jobsite safety proximity [15], location-aware sensing technology to determine a worker's safety situation regarding proximity to dangers [16], use of digital models to enhance construction safety [17], enhancing hazard recognition with augmented virtually [18], and the applications of building information modeling (BIM) to investigate potential fall hazards [19]. Among these studies few of them have investigated the application of eye-tracking technology in construction safety [20].…”

Considering the complexity and sometimes unpredictability of human behavior, and its role on workplace injuries, it is surprising that psychological research has contributed relatively little in studying workplace safety compared to technology development. The focus of this paper is thus shifted to psychological investigation of human factors to understand how a hazard is perceived, how a seen hazard is recognized, and how a decision must be made to avoid the hazard. The study is conducted through a three-step experiment including a questionnaire, Balloon-Analogue-Risk-Task (BART) test and safety photos and video clips with an eye tracking system to measure and analyze the relationship between the worker's personality and perceptions of risks and hazards. A very close relationship was found between the length of time a participant spent looking at a hazard and the number of hazards identified correctly.Participants with a higher safety score were able to recognize more safety hazards than those with lower safety score. Moreover, it was found that risk-takers were underestimating a hazard, whereas more cautious and less risky participants were overestimating a hazard.
