Abstract

Building information modeling (BIM) can be recognized as the most promising technology that was introduced to the construction sector in the recent past. The current BIM-based safety risk assessment methods ignore data uncertainty. Hence, this study integrates BIM with fuzzy set theory for safety risk prediction. A Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) was developed based on the causality of safety incidents. The FIS extracts construction project data from BIM models while automatically assessing each potential safety hazard and project’s total risk. The proposed method was demonstrated by using a building project in which the safety risk was predicted as low. Safety records of the above project revealed that no safety incidents were recorded in this project. The proposed method can indicate the safety risks level at various stages of a construction project and help to enhance the safety of construction workers on a construction site.
