Abstract:

This article explores the key lean and safe technologies used for unique transportation projects to expand highway infrastructure. Given today's digital requirements, there are trends to reduce time, cost, and safety, but all of this is possible by introducing several key innovations into the design and construction process. New lean BIM technologies, methods of adaptive flexible Agile-approach have completely transformed modern design technologies and with the application of safe work, methods allow not only to carry out safe reconstruction of transport facilities but also to act as a high-te

Abstract:

The concept of occupational risk assessment is related to the analysis and prioritization of the hazards arising in a production or service facility and the risks associated with these hazards; risk assessment considers occupational health and safety (OHS). Elimination or reduction to an acceptable level of analyzed risks, which is a systematic and proactive process, is then put into action. Although fuzzy logic-related decision models related to the assessment of these risks have been developed and applied a lot in the literature, there is an opportunity to develop novel occupational risk ass

Abstract. The civil engineering and construction sector, including the railway industry, is seeking innovative approaches to reduce costs on repetitive and labour-intensive tasks and avoid the use of highly qualified staff for simple manual duties. Such tasks can include the visual inspection of tunnels, where the process is still dominated by manual operations. Our work compares Close Range Photogrammetry (CRP) and Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), both performed with low-end sensors to reflect the industry’s tendency towards easy to use and easy to maintain hardware.

Risk management suggests that risks should be distributed to minimize their harm since they cannot be completely eliminated, which would have been the easiest option (Szymański, 2017).

Research background: Problems related to the occupational health and decreasing level of safety occur commonly in the construction industry. Important factor in the occupational safety in construction industry is scaffold use. All scaffolds used in construction, renovation, and demolition shall be erected, dismantled and maintained in accordance with safety procedure. Increasing demand for new construction projects unfortunately still is linked to high level of occupational accidents.
