“…The traditional approach and conventional practices of the construction industry provide leniency towards safety practices on site where negligence takes the life of many. Recent research has focused on curbing the occurrence of FFH accidents by proposing prevention through design (PtD) [7] and collective protection equipment (CPE) [8]. Similarly, several safety practices have been adopted on construction projects, such as using railings, safety nets, scaffoldings, hole coverings, personal protection equipment (PPE), safety harnesses, helmets, etc.…”

Falls from height (FFH) are common safety hazards on construction sites causing monetary and human loss. Accordingly, ensuring safety at heights is a prerequisite for implementing a strong safety culture in the construction industry. However, despite multiple safety management systems, FFH are still rising, indicating that compliance with safety standards and rules remains low or neglected. Building information modelling (BIM) is used in this study to develop a safety clauses visualization system using Autodesk Revit’s application programming interface (API). The prototype digitally stores and views clauses of safety standards, such as the Operational Health and Safety Rules 2022 and Introduction to Health and Safety in Construction by NEBOSH 2008, in the BIM environment. This facilitates the safety manager’s ability to ensure that the precautionary measures needed to work at different heights are observed. The developed prototype underwent a focus group evaluation involving nine experts to assess its effectiveness in preventing FFH. It successfully created a comprehensive safety clause library that allows safety managers to provide relevant safety equipment to workers before work execution. It also enhances the awareness of construction workers of all safety requirements vis-à-vis heights. Moreover, it creates a database of safety standards that can be viewed and expanded in future by adding more safety standards to ensure wider applicability.

“…Çelik [21] studied the application of protective nets in engineering and provided evaluations and suggestions for the shortcomings in the application. Filho [22] compared two fall protection measures used in construction in Brazil and found that protective measures with safety nets are safer. Segovia [23] established a numerical model to simulate the impact test of a "V"-type safety net with an impact energy of 7 kJ, emphasizing the importance of energy absorption.…”

High-fall accidents refer to accidents where construction personnel, building materials, and equipment fall from a height, usually resulting in serious casualties and significant economic losses. This paper proposes a high-fall flexible protection system and its design approach with a tensile yield energy-consuming mechanism to solve high-fall accidents. The design approach based on component characteristics that obtained through tests contains energy matching, component internal force balance, and a two-level energy consumption mechanism. Component tests were conducted with mesh bursting tests and energy dissipator static tensile tests to obtain the characteristics of the intercepting net under the flexible boundary condition, and the force-displacement model of the ring-type energy dissipater. Combined with an actual project, we designed a high-fall flexible protection system with a protection energy level of 800 kJ for the core tube of an ultra-high-rise building construction using this method. The impact of dynamic response under multiple cases including the overall fall of the construction formwork was analyzed by dynamical numerical calculation models. The result shows that the system can effectively intercept high-falling objects and exhibit good two-stage energy dissipation characteristics to consume the impact energy. Compared with the protection system without an energy consumption mechanism, the internal force response of the steel wire rope and the suspended frame reduce by about 60%, and the energy consumption capacity increase more than six times. The protection technique proposed in this paper can effectively solve the problem of high-level impact protection such as falling construction formwork equipment, and improve construction safety.
