BIM-based Code Checking for Construction Health and Safety

The research project aims to define an H&S BIM-based design and validation workflow, specifying the minimum level of requirements and mandatory informative content for the submission of construction site layouts and safety plans. The paper is focused on the translation into a parametric rule-set of the Italian construction sites’ H&S normative text (D.Lgs. 81/2008). A semantic analysis was used in order to translate it into computable parameters to be implemented into checking rules. Object tables have been created for each construction site element regulated by the D.Lgs. 81/2008. Based on those tables, meant as guideline for the design phase, a BIM library for the construction site has been created and a model checking tool has been used for creating rules to check and validate BIM objects and mutual relations.
