For engineering and construction workers, safety in increasingly complex, massive, and

capital-intensive building projects is a daunting, time-consuming, and often manual job.

Communication of critical safety details among project stakeholders becomes critical in such

projects, saving lives and money. Important protection and performance gains are anticipated as

automation is used to quickly deliver useful knowledge to policy makers, resulting in tighter

convergence of safety and building process information. Several motivators have driven this

research on a right-time control scheme for building health and safety based on an intelligent

safety predictor structure. (Teizer J., 2016)

As stated by Ahn S., Kim T., Park Y.J. & Kim J.M.(2020) The site workers who were

training using simulated environmental modeling using the BIM software demonstrated a higher

degree of comprehension than the workers who were trained using the traditional lecture method.

The statistical value of the disparity in mean test scores between the two classes was determined

by the safety training test. Furthermore, test scores are objectively analyzed in comparison to

employees' personal characteristics such as age, educational history, and job experience.

Significant variations were observed for the variables "Age" in the 50s and 20s and 30s,

"Educational History" in high school and middle school, and "Job Experience" in all levels;

advanced, intermediate, and starting.

As the suggestion of Raliile M.T., & Haupt T.C. (2020) Despite the fact that Machine

Learning applications have been used to analyze injuries in the building industry, there is still a

gap in studies in the area of construction health and safety. The majority of injuries are caused by

human error, and the use of Machine Learning may reduce the burden of implementation caused

by ever-increasing regulations. Despite the advantages of Machine Learning, there are some

questions about training data sources, as incorrect knowledge may result in biases, false
positives, or incorrect outcomes. About the current limitations, it is proposed that the use of

Machine Learning in conjunction with safety staff to control construction health and safety

regulations and enforcement can result in complete compliance, as well as track and monitor

experiences of construction workers on construction sites, in order to realize workers' full

potential.

Chea C.P., Bai Y., & et al (2020) discussed the advantages, disadvantages, and potential

of these innovations in prefabrication and building. Automation technology, such as CAD/CAM

applications, BIM, automatic or semi-automated trucks, and robotic systems, used in

prefabrication and construction, provides quicker and cleaner production, greater predictability

of completion time, superior efficiency, and a decrease of labor on site. Furthermore, the

building process can be monitored and controlled using the robot and management system.

Zhang M., Cao T., & Zhao X. (2017) stated that a single sensor-based technology does

not have clear use in building safety management. Only by combining several strategies will the

ever-increasing criteria be met. Since hardware and software are key components of sensor-

based technology, achieving a balanced realization would result in stronger and quicker sensor-

based technology progress in construction safety management. In recent years, the price of

smartphones has been appealing as an integrated platform of several sensor-based technologies

due to their significant success and price advantages arising from large-scale manufacturing.

Furthermore, because of the data processing capability and overall efficiency of smartphones,

they have the ability to become a knowledge management tool built on open source architecture,

which can be useful in data gathering and analysis.
