Dynamic Analysis of Construction Safety Risk and Visual Tracking of Key Factors based on Behavior-based Safety and Building Information Modeling

Abstract

Construction has long been seen as a high-risk industry. Many studies conduct risk management by controlling construction risk indicators, but few studies associate risk indicators with time and space to propose long-term risk management methods. Therefore, this study proposes a dynamic analysis and visual tracking method based on behavior-based safety (BBS). This study establishes a BBS observation checklist and records workers’ unsafe behavior. The risk level of unsafe behavior is then determined by grey clustering model. When a high risk occurs, an improved grey correlation model is used to track key indicators that affect risk. In order to achieve visual risk management, this study develops semantic logic to predefine the relationship between components and space. In schedule simulation of BIM, the key indicators of BBS are transformed into an executable visual inspection between work items, components, and space through ARC. This method makes it easier for construction managers to combine time and space to manage safety risk and to adopt appropriate strategies in a timely manner to improve the efficiency of safety management.
