CONFIGURATION METHOD OF HEALTH & SAFETY RULE FOR IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY IN CONSTRUCTION SPACE BY MULTI-DIMENSION CAD SYSTEM

  • Published : 2009.05.27

Abstract

Safety of workers and productivity in construction site are affected according to the conflict status of work spaces which are performed at a time. The interference among the work spaces in construction site should be minimized because it becomes a blocking factor that causes construction delay and low productivity. Those factors can be managed by reasonable H&S (Health & Safety) practice. This research suggests the requirements of H&S practice and rules to establish the strategy of H&S management based on the literature reviews related to H&S rule. The suggested H&S rule can be visualized for searching space conflict point if the rule is linked with visual simulation tool. Accordingly the research results can be used for improving and visualizing construction productivity by work space control in 4D/nD CAD system.
