Excerpts:

Encourage use of BIM and prefabrication
Forty-three percent of the contractors surveyed report that BIM use improves project safety, and nearly half of those using BIM cite the ability to identify site hazards before construction begins as a major factor, with clash detection also noted by nearly a quarter.

These findings suggest that encouraging BIM use could have a material impact on safety.

In addition, 49% of contractors find that using prefabrication/modularization on projects has a positive impact on safety. While prefabrication is not a universal solution, it is still underutilized in the industry, and interest in these approaches by project owners when appropriate would encourage wider use, thereby potentially improving site safety.
