The Application of BIM-Based OHSMS Information Systems to Improve Safety Performance

Abstract

The accidents recorded during university construction projects usually affect the safety performance of the institution. This indicates it is important to recognize the hazards and construction risks at the design stage in order to have an optimal safety plan. Moreover, the university area has several organizations involved in the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS). Therefore, there is a need to develop the OHSMS information system to accommodate the role of the parties involved and to disseminate information and communication more effectively. This study was conducted to develop a WBS and BIM-based safety plan for the OHSMS information systems to improve the safety performance using the case study method. The result showed that the WBS is the basic constituent of the safety plan integrated with the BIM to visualize the project in real terms in order to ensure easier identification of hazards and risks. The process involved building data security information in BIM to develop webbased information systems and the BIM-based OHSMS information system developed is expected to improve safety performance in the university area.
