BIM4OHS observatory: central repository to monitor the status of BIM implementa...
Tender, Manuel; Fuller, Paul; Demian, Peter; Chow, Vivien; Silva, Firmino; Couto, J. PedroKey Technological Developments (KTDs), in recent years, have led to a step change in dealing with Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) risk management. Building Information Modelling (BIM), part of a wider trend of applying digital technology in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Operation (AECO) sector, has the potential to optimize the management of risks and costs of accidents at work and occupa...
BIM’s role in improving the management and delivery of occupational safety and ...
Tender, Manuel; Demian, Peter; Fuller, Paul; Couto, J. Pedro; Chow, VivienDespite improvements and modernizations in construction processes, accidents are still persistent and have considerable financial and logistical impacts on projects. The UK HSE recently revealed that there were 145 work-related deaths in 2022/23 with the highest number of 45 occurring in construction. Research has shown that the lack of digital OHS information is a significant factor contributing to the poor pe...
Lessons learned from the use of virtual reality for occupational safety and hea...
Tender, Manuel; Fuller, Paul; Vaughan, Alex; Demian, Peter; Chow, Vivien; Silva, Firmino; Couto, J. Pedro; Santos, RicardoNew Key Technological Developments (KTD) are leading to a challenging paradigm shift in the way Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is managed in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) sector. Previous research has shown that these developments have the potential to reduce the risks and costs associated with accidents and occupational diseases at work. This paper reports on a pilot ...
Real world lessons that can assist construction organisations in implementing B...
Tender, Manuel; Fuller, Paul; Vaughan, Alex; Long, Marc; Couto, J. Pedro; Damien, Peter; Chow, Vivien; Silva, Firmino; Reis, Francisco; Reis, RicardoChanging the way OSH management is performed with BIM is relevant. Several authors propose that real world cases need to be studied as there are few examples of studies covering BIM implementation for OSH. The UK PAS1192:6 introductory standard indicated some of the requisites and approaches to implementing BIM for OSH. Lessons from projects that have already implemented PAS 1192:6 will provide valuable inputs....
Lessons from implementation of key technological developments to improve occupa...
Tender, Manuel; Fuller, Paul; Vaughan, Alex; Long, Marc; Couto, J. Pedro; Damien, Peter; Chow, Vivien; Silva, Firmino; Reis, Francisco; Reis, RicardoThe use of new Key Technological Developments to transform the way Occupational Safety and Health is managed is now becoming a viable option for contractors to consider. These developments can be used to modify the traditional approaches to Occupational Safety and Health to minimize the risks and costs associated with accidents at work and occupational diseases. The research reported in this paper aims to exami...
