Abstract
Steel structures construction continues to be one of the most hazardous jobs in the construction industry. Even with the strict application of international safety codes, the fatalities in the steel construction activity are more than any other site works. This fact demonstrates the need to improve the health and safety at steel construction sites. The objective of this paper, which is part of a Ph.D. thesis, is to identify how to apply novel technologies to enhance the workers' safety awareness on site. The paper proposes a methodology based on BIM model incorporating the 2D image data available from an actual project and the approved project plan. Enhancing all real images and comparing them withthe BIM model to expect the following site activities and their associated hazards, the hazards then will be presented to the site worker in an advanced visualization tool in order to control and minimize the risk.
