| Summary: | The construction industry is key to Thailand's economy, which is growing consistently with domestic and international trends. Its projected growth is 3.0-4.0% annually from 2024 to 2026, consistent with overall investment trends. However, the recent Workers' Compensation Fund data shows that construction consistently leads to occupational accidents, causing significant losses. From 2019 to 2023, residential construction accounted for 3.50% and nonresidential for 2.66% of annual occupational injuries, highlighting ongoing safety challenges. Therefore, the study focuses on the effectiveness of digital 2D and 3D modelling, including Building Information Modeling, in improving safety protocols and reducing workplace accidents. The study uses a quantitative approach to evaluate how digital 2D and 3D modelling tools affect work method development, risk assessments, safety awareness and compliance oversight. The results demonstrate a significant positive correlation between the use of digital models and enhanced safety performance indicators, such as reduced accident rates and increased client satisfaction. The most notable improvements occurred in work method formulation and risk assessment, where digital 2D and 3D modelling provide detailed visualizations that help identify potential hazards and plan safe construction practices. |
