Abstract: Automatic safety compliance checking integrated with BIM can significantly enhance management efficiency and reduce the occurrence of safety accidents. Currently, the high frequency of construction accidents are not alleviated, which has seriously affected the life and property security of our people. Although research on safety management has been increasing in recent years, there is no review for the current research on safety compliance checking. This paper reviews the related literature in ten years. Domestic and foreign researches and safety checking platforms based on BIM are reviewed on rules translation, BIM model preparation, rule execution and checking results from the perspective of relevant technology and application. The application domain and platform of safety compliance checking were introduced. Finally, the existing problems in the process of safety compliance checking were discussed and the corresponding solutions proposed for facilitating further automation of safety compliance checking.

Key words: BIM, safety compliance checking, technology research, application research
