  7. Abstract:
  8. The construction is classified as a high-risk industry. The number of casualties and fatalities in this industry is disproportionately high. The ability to recognize hazards in the construction process and the design stage is still in its early stages of development. The most important way to control and eliminate hazards and accidents is to analyze these hazards before they occur and plan to deal with them before starting project activities. Identifying safety risks is the first step in evaluating and analyzing these risks. Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, due to the consideration of the relationship between the elements in the model and because it contains an object-oriented model, has provided the ability to automatically check many conditions in less time and cost and with higher accuracy than traditional methods. Also, the visual capabilities of this technology have made the transfer and understanding of information between different stakeholders with higher speed and quality. Relying on the capabilities and tools of this technology and to improve the safety level of construction projects, in this research, a model for automatic identification of risk factors in the planning stage and before the implementation of activities with the help of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology was proposed. The proposed model was implemented in a real project to identify the risk factors causing struck-by accidents. Identification of hazards in different parts of excavation and foundation construction operations was performed automatically and the visual capabilities of Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology were used to better present the hazards at each stage to the project stakeholders. By implementing the proposed model in this construction project, its ability and capability in real construction projects were well demonstrated
