| Abstract | Nowadays, safety is an important element of project successes. In the conventional project management, safety planning, as a function, is separated from other planning functions, such as planning/scheduling function. This separation creates difficulties for engineers to analyze what, when, why and where a safety plan is needed to prevent accidents during undertaking construction tasks. Another problem occurs due to the conventional practice of representing project designs using two-dimensional (2D) drawings. In this practice, a user (e.g. an engineer) has to convert the 2D drawings into three-dimensional (3D) mental pictures, and it is not an easy task. If only converting this 2D drawing is a difficult task, combining these 2D drawings with safety planning creates more difficult task. In order to address the problems, this paper discusses our research in integrating construction scheduling and safety planning in a 4D environment. |
