Godinho, Manuel; Maçães, Filipe; Magalhães, João; Magalhães, Frederico; Branco, Carlos; Pires, Filipa; Dias, Sílvio; Gonçalves, Helena; Silva, FirminoIntroduction: Hip pathologies in young adults have a significant impact on quality of life, affecting physical activities, professional performance and general well‑being. Cultural adaptation of the iHOT‑12 and iHOT‑33 into Portuguese is essential to ensure the accuracy and relevance of these instruments in the Portuguese population. We aimed to translate and culturally adapt the iHOT‑12 and iHOT‑33 questionnai...
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...

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...
