© 2012 Autodesk Class Summary  Building Information Modeling (BIM) is known for improving the overall building process including safety. This roundtable session will explore techniques used in design and construction that use BIM to take safety to the next level by going beyond "safety as a by-product of BIM.”

© 2012 Autodesk Roundtable Session  This class is not a lecture  Your participation is key  Consensus is ideal, but not required

© 2012 Autodesk Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Describe how to use BIM to highlight potential safety issues in terms of operations, maintenance and construction  Understand how to integrate BIM into your Health and Safety assessment program  Utilize BIM tools to effectively educate, train, and communicate hazards effectively  Able to create and deploy an effective BIM Construction safety plan / contract

© 2012 Autodesk Nexus of Industry and Technology Factors Safety 1. Increased safety awareness of construction and occupational safety 2. Eminent government mandates (OSHA, EPA) similar to EU and AU 3. Increased competition 4. Project complexity Technology 1. Owners demand BIM 2. Evolution of BIM software 3. Hardware performance (large datasets) 4. Collaborative contracting arrangements (IPD)

© 2012 Autodesk The Facts  While workplace safety has improved considerably since The construction industry continues to represent a disproportionate percent of fatalities.  In % of work fatalities were in construction which accounts for less that 5% of the total US workforce. US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011

© 2012 Autodesk The Facts Leading causes of worker deaths on construction sites were:  Falls - 35%  Struck by Object – 10%  Electrocutions – 9%  Caught-In/Between – 3% US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011

© 2012 Autodesk Operator/Worker Orientation & Training  Use of BIM models for illustration and demonstration during Safety training:  OSHA 10 and 30-hour  Project kickoff meetings  Custom models developed to illustrate a unique or especially hazardous situations  Disaster simulation and response training

© 2012 Autodesk Challenges?

© 2012 Autodesk Roles: Contractor vs. A/E 1. Current contracting arrangements often minimize collaboration between designer and contractors 2. Concern around increased liability from A/E 3. Cost (labor, time, resources) 4. A/E may not have fully understand complicated construction scenarios 5. OSHA places safety and health responsibility on the employer, most often the general or trade contractor in construction

© 2012 Autodesk Technology Shortcomings 1. Lack of dedicated solutions related to safety evaluation 2. Wide range of capabilities and acceptance among industry members 3. Inconsistence approach to the use of available tools

© 2012 Autodesk What are the Drivers for Improvement?

© 2012 Autodesk Current 1. EU and AU have already passed legislation that require safety considerations in design (PtD) 2. IPD and other similar contracting philosophies emphasize early input from contractors 3. Contractors are becoming increasing sophisticated in their use of BIM, often times surpassing the A/E

© 2012 Autodesk What Will Happen Next? 1. The ubiquitous use of BIM will drive the development of more relevant tools and standards 2. Continued evolution of BIM software and hardware will allow complex construction simulations to become more common place 3. -
