A crucial factor in construction safety planning is to properly identify all possible hazards before they occur. BIM 3D visualization and 4D simulation allow construction shareholders to visually assess jobsite conditions and recognize hazards, and it provides them with sufficient time to develop adequate hazard mitigation plans. This article reports an in-progress research project where BIM technology is utilized to perform safety planning and management for an on-going construction project located on the campus of Auburn University, Alabama, U.S.A. This study presents and validates the potential of 4D BIM in project safety management and planning.
