14. Sustainability Management - Safety:
BIM-based Safety Management Plan
14
Safety management could form a part of BIM-based construction procedures.
BIM solutions can include construction process data such as activities and their logic –
also widely called 4D models – additional dimension: time.

Sustainability Management - Safety:
BIM-based Safety Planning - Site Layout Planning
Optimise site layout plan by examination of the location of material storage
area, machinery location, movement of machinery, access way, impact to
site surroundings, etc.

16. Sustainability Management - Safety:
BIM-based Safety Planning - Crane Reach and Risk Zone
16
(i) BIM-based site planning to check crane reach and capability in construction
works.
(ii) Examine risks in case of load fall.
(iii) Evaluate what the crane jib could hit.
(iv) The significant of this kind of examination increase if there is limited space
around the construction site and clashes become possible.

Sustainability Management - Safety:
BIM-based Risk Management – Automatic Safety Analysis
Researchers are testing to use and integrate both BIM and Solibri Model
Checker software (SMC) to automate or semi-automate safety analysis. The
testing scope includes:
1. Detect different types of openings that could be potential fall hazard so as to
automate to develop BIM-based falling prevention planning.
2. Examine existence and properties of site objects or safety required objects.
3. Check free space around site and within site.
4. Check required minimum distance between objects.
5. Detect collision of objects.

Examples of BIM-based material to be used in site
communication sessions
Sustainability Management - Safety:
BIM-based Safety Communication – Site Communication
Carefully prepared site
communication sessions can provide
valuable information to all site
personnel. The BIM-based
communication has promising
opportunities to influence site
personnel.
The use of visualisations in
communication can reinforce safety
messages. It helps to understand
safety rules and practices esp
language barriers (e.g. foreign
workers and junior workers).
