BIM4OHS observatory: central repository to monitor the status of BIM implementa...

Tender, Manuel; Fuller, Paul; Demian, Peter; Chow, Vivien; Silva, Firmino; Couto, J. Pedro

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 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, Vivien

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 a significant factor contributing to the poor pe...


Lessons learned from the use of virtual reality for occupational safety and hea...

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 at work. This paper reports on a pilot ...


Emerging technologies for health, safety and well-being in construction industry

Tender, Manuel; Couto, J. Pedro; Gibb, Alistair; Fuller, Paul; Yeomans, Steven

New technologies brought about by digital transformation in the construction sector will inevitably lead to a change in the traditional ways of dealing with health and safety risk management as has occurred with other specialties such as architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, heating and ventilation. Existing procedures will need to be adapted, and new routines are created. The technical and soft ski...


Real world lessons that can assist construction organisations in implementing B...

Changing 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...

The 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...


Riscos ocupacionais na construção de obras subterrâneas

Tender, Manuel; Couto, J. Pedro

Os dois principais métodos de escavação subterrânea são o convencional (MEC) e por tuneladora (MET). Todos os perigos e riscos tradicionais da construção civil existem em obras subterrâneas, sendo que estas apresentam características particulares (poeiras, gases perigosos, etc.), com um enquadramento específico: elevado grau de interação com maciço rochoso, imprevisibilidade geológica, e trabalhos num espaço co...


Os benefícios do BIM na prevenção de riscos profissionais

Tender, Manuel; Couto, J. Pedro

As ferramentas BIM têm vindo a ganhar cada mais relevo no setor da construção, no entanto, no caso da prevenção de riscos profissionais, tal ainda não se verifica. Adicionalmente, o modo atual de gerir a segurança é muitas vezes consumado numa excessiva lista de procedimentos pouco integrados no planeamento de obra, o que cria um ambiente de desvalorização desta problemática. Torna-se, assim, necessário atender...


O BIM como instrumento de prevenção em fase de projeto e de obras de reabilitação

Tender, Manuel; Reis, Ricardo; Couto, J. Pedro; Lopes, Cátia; Cunha, Telma

As ferramentas BIM tem vindo a ganhar cada mais relevo na elaboração de projetos. No caso do Plano de Segurança e Saúde e da Compilação Técnica, peças de projeto utilizadas para gerir a segurança e saúde em fases de construção e exploração, tal ainda não se verifica. O modo atual de gerir a segurança é muitas vezes consumado numa excessiva lista de procedimentos, pouco compreensíveis para quem os tem de impleme...


O BIM 3D, 4D E 5D como ferramenta de gestão e prevenção num estaleiro de constr...

Tender, Manuel; Reis, Ricardo; Couto, J. Pedro; Monteiro, Paulo; Rocha, Tânia; Vicente, Guiomar; Delgado, Tiago; Pinto, João

A utilização de ferramentas BIM como meio de otimizar a prevenção de riscos profissionais tem vindo a assumir uma posição cada vez mais relevante. A alteração dos Planos de Segurança e Saúde para este novo formato irá ser inevitável, como já está a acontecer com os restantes projetos de especialidade, pelo que urge aferir como pode ser implementada. A gestão de estaleiro, como elemento integrante do Plano de Se...
