• Description:
  The need for designing for safety is being recognized by a growing number of governmental agencies, owners, constructors, engineers, and architects. Design for Safety or Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD) demands workers safety in construction, operation and maintenance, and decommissioning being considered and addressed through design. Furthermore the broadening adoption of Building Information Modelling (BIM) is supporting integrated design pursuing high performance standards in user comfort, energy usage, lifecycle impact, design risk assessment, etc. However, there is lack of knowledge on what Prevention through Design (PtD) tools designers utilize for safety design and subsequently how BIM can facilitate this process. The challenge is that the lifecycle phases involve various parameters of which some are difficult to codify for formalized design processes involving performancebased design, design risk assessment and BIM.
