Abstract

Low performance in occupational health and safety can result in accidents having severe consequences or in near-misses. Furthermore, it can distract a smooth, efficient and effective workflow as well as reducing workers’ motivation. Based on lean principles, accidents or near-misses can be described as waste. BIM can be a potential tool for enhancing lean as well as occupational health and safety performance in construction sites. Based on an in-depth literature review, this paper aims to investigate the role and ways of usage of BIM in the construction project management processes to reduce accident rates in construction sites and to increase efficiency through the elimination of wastes in the processes in sites based on the lean management tools and principles. This paper is intended to be beneficial for both building professionals and academics.
