“…Even though it is relatively easy to create additional functionality for hazard detection in BIM design software using an open API environment or visual programming environment, such as authors in [15,17,18,23,41] did, the respondents identified this kind of software as appropriate in only two cases. This was mainly due to the need for more experienced BIM users (i.e., not the HS coordinator), a limited user base and a native file that is less suitable for software interoperability and multi-stakeholder project collaboration.…”

“…Contractors often look upon meeting HS requirements as an obligation that slows them down and increases costs. Nevertheless, major construction companies promote their importance and strive to fulfill a zero-harm vision [9][10][11][12] because it is still one of the most dangerous industries worldwide [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Several studies have looked at the impact of injuries and fatal accidents on construction costs and losses for the state [28][29][30].…”

Building information modeling (BIM) brings several benefits to design and construction companies, especially in higher efficiency and quality of work. Several companies also use common data environment (CDE) systems, which speed up communication and collaboration between project participants. These can be used for occupational health and safety (HS) purposes and to increase the level of HS on construction sites. The first part of the article presents the state-of-the-art possibilities and approaches to implementing BIM in automatic or semi-automatic health and safety hazard detection. The following parts analyze the interviews with experts in BIM coordination, project management and health and safety in Slovakia and their answers to a survey, that covers the topic of safety hazard detection in BIM. The analysis shows that BIM is a suitable tool for increasing safety on construction sites, but there are several obstacles to achieving its full potential. The survey brings readers closer to the current state of the topic and the possibilities offered by BIM and CDE software in Slovakia. This paper, through the requirements and opinions of experts in BIM, project management and HS management, points out areas for further research and development of BIM software.

“…In addition, these parameters and factors correspond to varied project index types with different highlights and targets. Most commonly, the factors refer to the costs and waste [9,10], the risk and safety [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], the procedure delay [18][19][20], the decision-making [21], and so forth. People have tried various methods to select the proper parameters and indicators for different index systems.…”

“…Typically, Elfahham employed Neural Networks, Linear Regression, and Autoregressive Time Series to obtain the Construction Cost Index [9], while Okudan et al proposed a knowledge-based risk management tool for the construction projects by using the case-based reasoning method [12]. To reduce the risk, the BIM-integrated safety assessment is widely used at the design stage in building projects [13]. For the construction projects which need to deal with multisource information, such as the tunnel construction [14] and the subway construction [16], the analytic network process and the extension cloud models are frequently employed to assess the safety and the risk of the project.…”

In order to scientifically set up the diagnosis index system for the implementation state of large-scale construction projects, this paper proposed a new method which takes into account the indicators in all level states. Different from the index system constructed by other methods, the indexes/indicators established in this paper are more systematically correlated, with a better hierarchical progression in all levels of the index system. The particular diagnosis index parameters of the management objects are firstly analysed through the mathematic model based on the Rough Set. Then, the representation of the periodical management problems is taken as the study object, and the detailed establishing process to form the index system is presented based on the evidenced theory and the Rough Set extraction. Finally, a case study is presented to validate the proposed method. It is shown that the index system set up by the proposed method can not only represent the systematic hierarchical relationships among all corresponding indexes but also diagnose the macroscopic, the mesostates, and the microstates effectively.

Construction is considered to be one of the most dangerous industries due to its wide variety of accidents and high risk. Although people have been using various means to improve safety levels, the frequent occurrence of accidents still plagues the development of this industry. Accurately grasping the characteristics and analyzing the complex relationships between the risks of different accident types are the keys to a comprehensive understanding and promotion of construction safety. Simultaneously, we need to note that the level and frequency of accidents affects the risk characteristics, but previous studies have not paid sufficient attention to these features. Using complex network theory, based on the risk factors and risk triggering relationship extracted from construction accidents and considering the accident level and the frequency of occurrences as their weights, several weighted risk networks are generated according to different accident types. Then, several network analysis metrics are introduced to reveal the characteristics of the risk network and identify the key risk factors. The analytical framework helps to pose targeted suggestions to reduce the occurrence of frequent major accidents.
