Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The high rates of fatalities and injuries in the construction industry highlight the importance of work health and safety (WHS). Digital collaboration tools, including building information modelling (BIM), are improving WHS management in construction. Integration of BIM and WHS management systems is challenging as it brings together two very diverse knowledge domains. This Special Issue will explore various investigations and analyses of innovative approaches, ranging from theoretical, conceptual and empirical studies to simulation research, with the overall aim of advancing thought leadership on integration of digital built environments in order to promote work health and safety and well-being, thus improving general health outcomes. Papers may address topics ranging across all life cycles of asset planning, design, delivery and use/maintenance targeted towards buildings and/or infrastructure. Individual exemplars and case studies from specific countries coupled with discussion concerning the broader global implications are encouraged, as well as those conducting cross-country comparisons.
