Traditional safety management practices often rely on reactive approaches and fragmented tools, which limit their effectiveness in preventing accidents. Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers new opportunities for integrating safety planning directly into project models. This paper presents a systematic review of recent developments in BIM-based safety management, with an emphasis on hazard prediction, visualization, and risk mitigation. The findings highlight that BIM can support automated hazard identification, enhance safety communication through visual simulations, and improve decision-making in planning and execution phases. Studies demonstrate that BIM integration enables early detection of workspace conflicts, cost–time–safety trade-offs, and compliance with safety codes through automated rule checking. Addressing BIM roles in hazard prediction, the study identifies eight common workflows used in BIM-based safety management. However, challenges remain in terms of interoperability, model standardization, and adoption in real-world project environments. This research provides insights into new trends in technology-driven safety strategies, indicating IoT, computer vision, and digital-twin integrations are transforming BIM from a static model into a dynamic, real-time safety monitor that tracks proximity and behavior.Keyphrases: 4d & 5d, building information modeling (bim), construction safety, hazard prediction, proactive safety management, risk assessment In: Wesley Collins, Anthony Perrenoud and John Posillico (editors).
