“…O desenvolvimento de novas estratégias de gestão relacionadas à segurança e saúde no trabalho na construção civil é uma necessidade emergente na sociedade. De fato, apesar de o canteiro de obra ser considerado um dos ambientes de trabalho mais inseguros e propensos a acidentes no segmento industrial (Wong, et al, 2014), os métodos tradicionalmente utilizados para a gestão da segurança não são considerados suficientemente eficientes (Le et al, 2015;Guo et al, 2017).…”

The construction industry represents, for Brazil, one of the business sectors with the highest absorption of labor, in addition to being one of the greatest economic powers, with great generation of job opportunities. It is a segment characterized by improvisation combined with low qualification of workers, poor use of security measures, in addition to discontinuity of the process, with mobilization and demobilization of the teams at each work performed. These situations experienced by the sector can result in the compromise of the physical integrity of the worker, with injuries and illnesses, these being the great challenges found in the works. Through a literature review and survey of construction companies with satisfactory safety and health performance at work, the aim of that study is to present an analysis on the use of collective protection measures, emphasizing the importance of prevention as a priority. This prevention must start in the planning of the work, with a focus on an adequate classification and selection of collective protections and an effective qualification process for the providers of these protections. As a result, more effective and consistent alternatives for actions are presented that provide a safer and healthier work environment for workers working on construction sites.

“…Other than the design of buildings and infrastructure, functionality evaluations are another of BIM's capabilities, taking environmental factors and sustainability into consideration. Wong et al (2014) used a virtual prototyping approach to evaluate CO2 emission and hazard detection during construction. A 5D (3D + schedule + cost) visualization platform is introduced and simulations analysed.…”

Advanced robotics systems have been around for a while now. There have been many opportunities for them to be widely utilized in the contemporary building and infrastructure construction sectors. Several applications, such as advanced construction machinery, sensorsupported construction environments, and automatic planning and optimization are being developed and investigated by researchers around the world. At the same time, Building Information Modelling (BIM) is becoming a dominant management approach in the field of Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC). BIM contains necessary information and well-organized data schema enabling personnel to retrieve sufficient information at the right time and in the right place. In order to use BIM for handling uncertainties on the construction site, integration with advanced robotics systems is necessary for cutting out rework and waste during construction.Robotics technologies help assess a situation and enable a rapid response to the resulting information. They can also further facilitate BIM usage at the construction stage of projects. The utilization of robotics approaches means that certain types of conventional construction operations can be fully automated and optimized beforehand, such as routine fabricating processes, material dispatching, and operation guidance. Sensors mounted in the field can also retrieve information so corresponding personnel can react to dynamic situations quickly, taking advantage of increasing computational power for sensing, data analysis and interpretation. Such approaches help site managers make more accurate decisions about dynamic construction processes in the field.As a preliminary stage of integration of such systems, the research in this special issue is intended to give readers a flavour of how BIM is influencing state-of-the-art buildings and infrastructure, and help inspire potential ideas and opportunities about how advanced robotics systems can be integrated with BIM. Researchers focusing on robotics technologies can seek inspiration in how to utilize intelligent equipment, sensing devices, and automatic methods to further facilitate modern AEC, aligning with BIM technologies in the near future.

Nesse contexto, a utilização de tecnologias de visualização virtual da edificação é uma alternativa viável para melhorar a eficiência do gerenciamento de segurança no local, tendo sido amplamente discutida no meio científico.…”
