Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a platform that enables architects, engineers and builders to share information throughout the life cycle of a project. By integrating safety and health management elements, BIM could reduce jobsite injuries, illnesses and fatalities as well. The authors designed a BIM application that relies on nearmiss reporting data to generate a visual map of near-miss locations, offering project teams a new opportunity to mitigate hazards before an injury event occurs.
