Abstract |
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is committed to reducing the number of accidents which occur within the construction sector. It is believed that the poor safety and health record can be improved by encouraging designers to give more consideration to safety and health issues during the design stage. This project's aim was to prototype a method of providing designers with easy access to relevant health and safety information, by establishing a means of structuring HSE's information as a Knowledge Based System and delivering it to designers. Recommendations are made for a phased approach to the full implementation of the system. |
