| description | Automation is revolutionizing a number of sectors, including construction, by bringing about important technological breakthroughs that increase productivity and efficiency. Automation in safety procedures is still scarce though. In India, the majority of safety procedures are still reactive, manual, and paper-based. This study is a component of a broader research project on automated safety screening for fall risks enabled by BIM. It entails codification of OSHA rules to perform safety checks, placing corrective actions into location, and generating reports in a virtual environment. As part of the broader risk lifecycle, these tasks are typically completed on-site during the various stages of construction. This study, on the other hand, executes these steps in a virtual environment in the preconstruction phase. The model has been assessed in a pilot study in India and was developed especially to address fall hazards from staircases. Through early hazard identification and mitigation, the system assists professionals in enhancing overall safety performance. |
