Near-Miss Information Visualization Tool for BIM
Although the number of fatalities experienced by the U.S. construction industry has been declining, the magnitude of the decrease has stagnated in recent years. Several improvements have been realized in visualizing construction project information through BIM. One improvement in construction safety can be found in the collection, analysis and visualization of safety leading indicator data including near miss events. Furthermore, the visualization of reported near misses can assist safety managers to identify the high frequency and high severity events within a construction site for mitigation or hazard removal techniques. The objective of this research is to provide a framework for near miss data collection and visualization within a BIM platform. A near miss database was created in a commercially-available BIM design software to allow construction site personnel to report near misses and visualize within an existing BIM. Algorithms were created to enable filtering for visualization based on user input properties of each near miss. A feasibility study for the created tool was conducted with an expert review panel of experienced safety managers.
