Worker’s safety hazards results in substantial number of accidents including injuries and fatalities at the construction projects. This case study aims to apply Building Information Modeling (BIM) principles to optimize workers' safety during the design phase of a high-rise residential building. The study objective is to develop a BIM model and analyze it against construction safety hazards in order to identify risks, fire weak spots, remove structural clashes and optimize the constructability. The research methodology involved preparing a BIM model using AUTODESK Revit and analyzing it with Solibri Model Checker and IFC based fire safety analysis using Revit. The findings revealed that BIM process optimization significantly reduced accidents due to fall hazards, electrocution, caught-in or between objects, fire hazards, slips, trips, and falls. The BIM process was advantageous in terms of safety compared to traditional construction methods and could help stakeholders address safety issues, clashes, project cost, and scheduling concerns.
