Safer infrastructure through smart design
SAFEbyBIM embeds technical risk management directly into the design process.
By harnessing BIM data (building information modelling), it enables real-time collaboration and proactive safety management across every stage of a project.
More than a tool, SAFEbyBIM enhances risk prevention and resolution throughout the entire project lifecycle. From design to delivery, it puts the SAFEbyDESIGN principle into practice – ensuring that safety is built into every decision and helping teams reduce risks, maintain compliance, and deliver project excellence.
Using SAFEbyBIM, we ensure effective risk management and greater project assurance for our clients.

Benefits of using SAFEbyBIM
The following features illustrate SAFEbyBIM’s practical benefits in daily project use.
- Lifecycle hazard management: Manage risks within BIM models from the first design phase through to operation, ensuring nothing is missed.
- Centralised safety data: Build a classified hazard database that acts as a single source of truth for all project partners.
- Full accountability: Maintain a clear audit trail with dated recordings of processing and responsibilities for every identified hazard.
- Improved coordination: Time saved resulting from improved communication and coordination between the members of the project team.
SAFEbyBIM features
Custom safety configurations
Every project has unique safety requirements. SAFEbyBIM allows teams to adapt the risk management framework to meet specific project needs and / or international standards.
- Tailored safety requirements: Customise the platform to align with the specific regulatory and technical demands of your infrastructure.
- Flexible setup: Organise hazard classifications and risk levels based on the project scale and complexity.
Real-time risk collaboration
Efficient coordination between teams is essential to mitigate risks. The solution provides a data-centric environment where all collaborators can share information instantly.
- Common risk database: Access a single source of truth for all identified hazards, ensuring everyone works from the same data.
- Controlled access: Manage user permissions to ensure that the right specialists have the correct level of oversight.
- Full accountability: Every change or update is logged, providing a clear history of risk ownership.
Visualise hazards within the digital twin
Visualising risks within the context of the design helps teams understand potential issues more clearly. We connect identified hazards directly to assets in the BIM model.
- Enhanced contextualisation: Use platforms like iTwin and Forge to see exactly where a hazard is located in the 3D model.
- Seamless integration: Link safety data to specific project components to improve the decision-making process.
- Visual alerts: Identify high-risk areas quickly through visual markers within the digital twin.
Accountability throughout the lifecycle
Maintaining a clear audit trail is vital for safety compliance and project management. SAFEbyBIM tracks data management across the whole project lifecycle.
- Dated dashboards: Export comprehensive reports that show the status of risks at any point in time.
- Audit trails: Monitor the progress of hazard resolution with a recording of processing and responsibilities attached to each entry.
- Historical records: Maintain a complete history of risk management for future reference or regulatory inspections.
How does SYSTRA use SAFEbyBIM to improve project safety?
We apply SAFEbyBIM to our projects to allow teams to visualise hazards in 3D. By integrating this data into our design process, we ensure proactive risk mitigation across the entire project lifecycle.
Will my team need formal training to access the project data?
No formal training is required for our clients. The interface we provide is intuitive, and we brief your project team to ensure they can easily view risks, dashboards, and reporting data.r2
How do we access the safety reports and dashboards SYSTRA produces?
SAFEbyBIM is a cloud-hosted solution. SYSTRA provides authorised access to your project members so they can view real-time dashboards and export reports through a web browser, with no software installation needed.
Can SAFEbyBIM help my project meet safety and regulatory compliance?
Yes. By using this tool to provide a digital audit trail of hazard identification, SYSTRA helps you satisfy legal and regulatory obligations through robust, data-led evidence. Whether meeting the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) in the UK or other international safety standards, the platform ensures that every mitigation and decision is documented, providing clear proof of proactive risk management.
Is this tool used on large-scale infrastructure projects?
SYSTRA applies SAFEbyBIM to complex, large-scale programmes. On the Transpennine Route Upgrade, for example, we used the solution to identify and manage more than 2,000 risks, ensuring safety across a multi-billion pound project.
