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 ...

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....

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...
