Note from the Association for Project Safety

The Association for Project Safety welcomes the publication of this guide outlining the need for the integration of health and safety into the BIM process, and the ways in which both design and construction risk management can be embedded into BIM projects. The synergies between the management of Building Information Modelling and health and safety risk management are clearly set out by the authors, as is the requirement to accept both as fundamental cornerstones of good construction project management and the operation and maintenance of buildings.

Note from Health and Safety Executive

HSE is pleased to acknowledge BIM for Construction Health and Safety. This book is aimed at people working within the construction industry who need to understand how Building Information Modelling and health and safety management fit together. The authors explore how the potential of BIM can be exploited to reduce health and safety risks.

It is recognised that this guidance contains some advice that may go further than the minimum needed to comply with health and safety law. However, it also contains well-explained, practical examples, that will be informative to clients, contractors, designers and health and safety professionals alike. I commend BIM for Construction Health and Safety to you.
