Abstract

Safety inspections at construction sites are becoming important to prevent accidents. However, current safety inspections are conducted through visual assessments, leading to inefficiencies in time and a risk of omissions. This study aims to address these issues by developing a model that automatically evaluates the adequacy of safety facility placement, thereby enhancing the efficiency of construction site safety inspections. Specifically, the study focuses on guardrails, a critical safety measure for fall prevention, and employs Building Information Modeling (BIM) to identify hazard zones and determine whether safety facilities are adequately placed within these zones. The safety regulations related to the placement of guardrails were quantified, and an algorithm was designed based on these regulations. The inspection model was implemented using Dynamo and validated for performance through tests with hypothetical construction site data. The model not only evaluates placement adequacy but also visually highlights improperly installed guardrails, helping inspectors to understand the issues and formulate effective corrective measures. While further improvements are needed to accommodate diverse scenarios, this model is expected to serve as a valuable tool for efficient safety inspections.

건설현장 안전점검은 안전사고 예방을 위해 그 중요도가 높아지고 있다. 그러나 현재의 안전점검은 육안점검에 의한 수행으로 인해 시간 비효율과 누락의 위험이 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 안전시설물 배치 적정성을 자동으로 평가하는 모델을 개발하여 건설현장 안전점검을 효율화하는 것을 목표로 한다. 특히 추락사고 예방을 위한 주요 안전시설물인 안전난간을 대상으로 하여, 건설현장의 현재 구조물과 안전시설물 정보를 담은 BIM(Building Information Modeling)을 활용하여 위험구역을 식별하고 해당 위험구역 내 안전시설물의 적정 배치 여부를 판단할 수 있도록 하였다. 안전난간에 대한 배치 관련 안전 규정을 분석하고 정량화하였으며 이를 기반으로 알고리즘을 설계하고 Dynamo를 통해 검토 모델을 구현하였다. 임의의 건설현장 데이터를 활용하여 정상 작동을 확인하여 그 성능을 검증하였다. 해당 모델은 부적정 배치 구역을 시각적으로 표시하여 점검자의 이해를 돕고, 효율적인 대처 방안을 마련할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 다양한 상황을 반영하도록 검토 모델을 개선할 필요가 있지만, 효율적인 안전점검을 위해 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
