How BIM-Based Shop Drawings Support Compliance with OSHA and Safety Standards

OSHA’s standards for construction safety are both strict and necessary, covering everything from fall protection to hazard communication. BIM shop drawings align closely with these requirements, helping teams implement them effectively. By visualizing OSHA compliance within a digital model, BIM shop drawings act as a blueprint for safe practices. This prevents safety measures from becoming an afterthought. OSHA regulations are designed to minimize workplace hazards and ensure safe working conditions. However, the sheer volume of safety requirements—such as those outlined in OSHA Part 1926– can make manual compliance checks cumbersome and prone to errors.
