Abstract
Occupational safety in building construction remains a
worldwide problem. In Finland, one in four fatal
occupational accidents takes place in the construction
field, falling from height being a major safety risk at
construction sites. The growing implementation of
Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the
Architecture/Engineering/Construction (AEC) and
Facilities Management industry is changing the way safety
can be approached. 3D and 4D BIM can be used to promote
safety by improving safety planning, management, and
communication, and by integrating safety more closely
into construction planning.
