ABSTRACT

Literature review from 2010 to 2014 through keywords search was made. The main keywords ‘BIM’, ‘occupational risk’, ‘prevention’, ‘construction’, ‘safety at work’, were used in research databases (Scopus and web of science). Articles were included if they focused on the contribution of BIM for the hazards prevention during the design phase leading to a project without or with controlled hazards. Over 50 papers were collected, but only three aim the use of BIM during the design phase to achieve safety.
