- Abstract:
Automation can be used effectively to reduce accidents during the erection of affordable housing units. The consequences of automation would, inter alia, be to completely eliminate the exposure of construction workers to hazardous activities, reduce the amount or duration of exposure to the hazards, or reduce the number of workers exposed to the hazards. This paper discusses how safety performance can be reinforced, and even improved, through automation integrated into the field construction process through on-site multimedia training presentations. Technologies such as CAD, CAM, hand held computers, bar coding and multimedia such as simulation are referred to.
