Abstract
AbstractThe construction sector carries many risk factors in terms of occupational safety. Many studies reveal that the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is effective in reducing losses in the construction sector. Lately, BIM (Building Information Modeling) has been deployed as one of the working methodologies to tackle and automate safety measures in the construction industry. Apart from other methodologies, safety information and risk factors are often identified during the project design phases in BIM. Fostered with Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies, BIM can also efficiently visualize such risks to prevent them. This study proposes a mobile application called AG-IGU that incorporates a BIM-supported AR environment against the risk of falling, which is the most common accident in construction projects.KeywordsBuilding Information Modeling (BIM)Occupational safetyFall riskAugmented Reality (AR)Mobile applications
