BIM-based construction safety risk library

This paper presents a digital tool and Safety Risk library to assist designers in their health safety work BIM environments. Addressing an industry need for improved knowledge sharing collaboration, the aligns with Prevention through Design (PtD) approach that links risks treatments via different risk scenarios. Motivated by continuing sub-optimal management processes, research employs conceptual framework rooted construction guidance: structuring data 7-stage ontology improve designer of issues give access expanding base (the Library). The facilitates tacit explicit visual environments, enabling benefit from while providing interactive learning designers. also opens up possibilities other advances (e.g. automatic rule checking).
