Abstract
The application of modern technologies into on-site construction safety management has been proved that be successful. BIM technology which has been studied and developed for adopting widely in the construction industry is promised to bring significant improvements in construction safety management. The article reviewed the application of BIM in the management of construction safety, detailed for each safety work activity. Suggestions for selecting BIM tools in the management of construction safety are also listed. Lastly, the article poses some obstacles while applying BIM to construction safety management in Vietnam.
Highlights
Construction is one of the most dangerous industries due to outdoor and heavy work environment
There have been a number of studies on improving safety through construction safety management, using Building Information Modeling (BIM)
The GIS technology for scheduling construction projects under the Critical path method (CPM) and connecting its activities with the corresponding components of the 3D BIM model has been developed by Bansal (2011)
Summary
Construction is one of the most dangerous industries due to outdoor and heavy work environment. There have been a number of studies on improving safety through construction safety management, using Building Information Modeling (BIM). This model allows for the visual assessment of workplace conditions and identification of hazards. Construction planning simulation using 4D requires connecting to 3D objects in one design, simulating construction sequences as well as showing what construction works and ground will be combined at every point for each certain time This simulation supports daily construction assessment, demonstrating problems of resource mobilization and adjustment options (grounds, labours, tools, spatial conflicts, safety issues, etc) [2]
