BIM (8D) COMO FERRAMENTA DE GESTÃO EM SEGURANÇA OCUPACIONAL:

Abstract

In Brazil, only the Civil Construction industry registered in 2017 a total of 30,025 accidents. Part of these accidents could be avoided by prevention through the project. BIM goes far beyond the creation of 3D models, with embedded information acting as an important tool in aiding decision making and accident prevention through design. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the perception and use of BIM as a management tool in Occupational Safety by Safety professionals. Two hypotheses were elaborated: one about the perception of the benefits of BIM, over the reasons for its implementation in Safety and Security, and another about the perception of BIM barriers over the reasons for its implementation in safety. To investigate and try to prove the hypotheses, a questionnaire was applied to the Occupational Safety professionals and a multivariate interaction model was developed following the criteria of the Partial Least Square method. The qualitative profile of the respondents presented generally negative results about the knowledge of BIM 8D and future perspectives for the market, always above 70% of the participants. The sampling has a 90% confidence and a margin of error of 10.91% and the model has validity, but it is not confirmed as a function of H2, which obtained an average variance of 0.265. The R² value for the construct “Benefits” was 61.7%, sufficient for studies of this nature, qualifying the results of the model as significant on the "Reasons for BIM implementation in OSH management".
