BIM4OHS observatory: central repository to monitor the status of BIM implementa...
Tender, Manuel; Fuller, Paul; Demian, Peter; Chow, Vivien; Silva, Firmino; Couto, J. PedroDOI livro: 10.24840/978-972-752-309-2; Key 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 an...
BIM’s role in improving the management and delivery of occupational safety and ...
Tender, Manuel; Demian, Peter; Fuller, Paul; Couto, J. Pedro; Chow, VivienPublished in BIM Coordinators Summit Magazine.; Despite 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 ...
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, RicardoDOI livro 10.24840/978-972-752-309-2; New 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 a...
Improving occupational health and safety data integration using building inform...
Tender, M.; Couto, J. Pedro; Fuller, P.The main objective of this paper is to address the technical-scientific gap identified in the literature by presenting an overview of the existing coverage of the use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management. The Scopus and Web of Science research literature databases were selected as the most suitable for the literature review. Appropriate keywords were identi...
Prevention of occupational risks in a construction site using BIM
Tender, M.; Couto, J. PedroChanging the document commonly used to manage occupational risks in construction in Portugal, the Safety and Health Plan, to the Building Information Modelling (BIM) format will be inevitable, as is already happening with other specialty projects. The management of the construction site is a part of that plan and it is important to obtain good logistic and financial results. However, it is also important due to...
Integrating occupational health and safety data digitally using building inform...
Tender, M.; Couto, J. Pedro; Fuller, P.Utilization of BIM (Building Information Modelling) for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) purposes is a current trend but, as yet, there is not a complete list of its uses and potential. The main objective of this paper is to gather information about the main uses of BIM for improving OHS management. A methodlogy was adopted based on requirements defined in a European Directive covering the implementation of...
Contribution to improvement of knowledge management in the construction industr...
Marinho, António Joaquim Coelho; Couto, J. PedroKnowledge management (KM) is crucial to ensure that business enterprises effectively leverage existing knowledge within the organization and produce faster and more effective decision-making. This article analyses the importance of KM in the construction industry in Portugal and investigates the perception of experienced professionals on the implementation of KM in this industry, its benefits, and restrictions ...

Fernandes, Gabriela; Couto, J. PedroO presente artigo foi desenvolvido com base em parte de uma dissertação de mestrado em gestão de projetos e tem como foco principal analisar os impactos e desafios da utilização do BIM para os gestores de projeto na Construção na zona Norte de Portugal, e ainda propor um conjunto de orientações para facilitar a introdução dessa metodologia nas organizações. No intuito de alcançar os objetivos, além da revisão c...
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....
Current state, comprehensive analysis and proposals on the practice of construc...
Marinho, António Joaquim Coelho; Couto, J. Pedro; Camões, AiresThe traditional method of construction and demolition waste (CDW) consumes a substantial amount of land resources causing severe environmental and social problems. In Portugal, the low recycling rate, combined with a high use of landfill as a way of managing CDW, has resulted in a negative index of 39% in the waste hierarchy, thus making it impossible for Portugal to be classified as a country that implements w...
