“…The BIM-based system can collect information from construction sites and further attach it to the component as the property. Similarly, it is believed that safety-related information can be attached to the components in the BIM management platform as safety risk assessment property [26]. In this way, the safety risk of the construction can be quantitatively estimated in the bidding stage before construction [27].…”

The complexity of the wharf components and the harshness of the offshore construction environment increase the safety risk of hazards, which has highlighted the importance and urgency of safety risk management in high-pile wharf constructions. This paper established a visualized digital construction safety risk model for high-pile wharf based on a so-called FAHP method (the combination of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methods). The construction safety risk indicators were constructed as the target layer, the principle layer and the scheme layer, and then the corresponding safety risk assessment algorithm was established. The physical, functional and safety risk assessment parameters of the component in the BIM model were employed to the safety risk assessment algorithm, and the risk assessment level of each sub-process was subsequently classified. The case study indicated that the high-pile wharf construction project included five elements in principle layer and 15 risk indicators in the scheme layer. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the sub-processes with the highest construction risk level were steel pipe pile sinking in wharf construction and steel pipe pile, steel sheath-immersed pile sinking and embedded rock pile construction in approaches to bridge construction with a risk level of III. In this way, the quantitative visualization of the construction safety risk was effectively realized, which facilitates the safety risk management of construction sites and timely warning and response to unexpected safety accidents.

Falls are the most common type of accident in the construction industry, and falls to a lower level are among the leading causes of fatalities. Work-related fatalities due to falls, slips, and trips have been increasing, with Hispanic workers among the highest fatalities. This study investigated the association between fall accidents and attributes such as age, musculoskeletal pain (MSPs), sleep hours, safety knowledge, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and working hours among Hispanic construction workers involved in building construction. This study collected 220 valid responses and used nonparametric chi-square tests and binary logistic regression to analyze the data. This study found that the location of the fall, MSPs, and use of personal protective equipment have a significant effect on the likelihood of having fall accidents. The strongest predictor of fall accidents was “fall from a ladder”, followed by having two or three MSPs. The use of PPE had the highest decreasing ratio in odds of fall accidents, indicating the importance of wearing PPE properly. The results show the importance of integrating safety management strategies within construction projects’ broader life cycle management. The insights list how project engineers can incorporate these findings into Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems to enhance project planning and safety measures in reducing fall-related accidents and their severe consequences. This study highlights the importance of addressing MSPs, properly using PPE, and reducing falls from ladders in the construction industry to prevent fall accidents among Hispanic workers and minimize their severe consequences.
