TL;DR: In this article, a methodology based on BIM model incorporating the 2D image data available from an actual project, and the approved project plan is proposed to enhance workers safety awareness on site.
Abstract: Steel structures construction continues to be one of the most hazard jobs in the construction industry. Even with the strict application of international safety codes the fatalities in the steel construction activity, is more than any other site works. This fact demonstrates the need to improve the health and safety in steel construction sites. The objective of this paper, which is part of a Ph.D. thesis, is to identify how to apply novel technologies to enhance the workers safety awareness on site. The paper proposes a methodology based on BIM model incorporating the 2D image data available from an actual project, and the approved project plan. Enhancing all real images, and comparing them with BIM model to expect the following site activities and their associated hazards, the hazards then will be presented to the site worker in an advanced visualization tool, in order to control and minimized the risk.
