Guidelines for the integration of WHS management in BIM

BIM is a design process that involves creating a detailed three-dimensional digital model of the physical and functional characteristics of a building. This enables design and construction issues to be identified and resolved in a virtual environment well before the construction phase begins. A model of this kind can be used to identify and manage WHS hazards and related risks in construction.

 

What are the guidelines for the integration of WHS management in BIM?

The guidelines for the integration of WHS management in BIM provide guidance on designing and implementing work health and safety (WHS) measures while using building information modelling (BIM) technologies.

What are the benefits?

  • The increasing use of BIM raises questions about how to manage WHS as we depart from traditional models of construction project management.
  • These guidelines set out best practices for integrating WHS into BIM while ensuring compliance with WHS legislation.

Getting started

The guidelines are set out in four comprehensive evidence-based guides. Get started by downloading them here:
