PAS 1192-6:2018

This standard PAS 1192-6:2018 Specification for collaborative sharing and use of structured Health and Safety information using BIM is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.010.01 Construction industry in general
• 35.240.67 IT applications in building and construction industry

This PAS specifies requirements for the collaborative sharing of structured H&S information throughout the project and asset life-cycles.

The PAS supports the development of structured H&S information for all construction projects progressively from the outset.

The PAS provides guidance on how H&S information is produced, flows and can be used throughout the project and asset lifecycle. Whilst all H&S risk information can be included within an information model, this PAS requires the contextualization and filtering of hazards and risks to prioritize the elevated risks and aspects that are safety critical.

The PAS sets out a framework (risk information cycle) for the application of H&S information-use through BIM processes and applications. The principles and requirements of this PAS can be applied equally to non-BIM projects.

The PAS specifies how to use H&S information in order to:

1. provide a safer and healthier environment for end-users;

2. mitigate the inherent hazards and risks across the asset lifecycle;

3. result in improved construction H&S performance, fewer incidents and associated impacts;

4. provide for clearer, more assured and relevant H&S information to the ‘right-people’ at the ‘right time’;

5. reduce construction and operational costs.

The exchange and use of H&S information is intended to support:

1. representation of the nature and characteristics of the project, site and built asset;

2. representation of H&S hazards, risks and associated factors;

3. the generalization, dissemination and re-use of H&S knowledge and experience.

The PAS is applicable to individuals and organizations that contribute to and influence the definition of design, construction, use (including maintenance) and end of life of a built asset.

This PAS does not define or change the duties set out in any relevant statutory provisions.

This PAS does not cover the commercial, operational or political risks nor risks which relate to the security threats associated to projects, built assets, sites or personnel.

NOTE This PAS may be applied in conjunction with the duty holder’s own management systems, policies and arrangements.
