Abstract :
Today building construction industry enters the digital transformation journey including BIM, Digital Works Supervision System, MiC, Virtual Reality, IoT and Big Data for productivity, quality and sustainability. And occupation safety & health still sit in the highest concern. There were 18 industrial fatalities in 2020, and it was 16 in 2019.

Traditionally, company safety programs are paper-based and reactive—that is, actions are taken only after a worker is injured. Preventive procedures are not enough to reduce the accidents. In addition, there is no process to receive real-time notifications of risky, unsafe conditions.

In the webinar, speaker will explain and demonstrate how to apply digital construction technology to do the safety planning, execution, monitoring and training. So proactive steps can be taken before an accident occurs. This is of the utmost importance as reducing accidents is not only the right thing to do to keep workers safe, but also makes better financial sense as well. The presentation will cover:
-	Site safety planning by BIM, Virtual Simulation and AR
-	Site safety inspection and monitoring by DWSS
-	Safety improvement by Virtual Training Kit
