Using BIM for Health & Safety Planning On-Site
In today's construction business safety is just as important as the design and execution. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is now a highly effective tool, not just to visualize and coordinate, but also to improve the safety and health of workers on site. With the help of BIM models, teams can spot hazards before the work starts and ensure that the project is executed safely. Understanding BIM's Role in Site Safety BIM lets construction professionals simulate real-world conditions ahead of when the first shovel touches the ground. By using precise 3D BIM models and visualization teams are able to analyse processes, spot possible hazards and plan the safest construction processes. This proactive approach can help reduce accidents delay, as well as costly revisions. For instance, by using the 4D BIM (which incorporates time into 3D models) Safety managers are able to visualize construction phases and recognize dangers at every step. It allows them to create safer workflows, ...
