Introduction
At the heart of this document is the requirement to identify, record, use and share information on health
and safety risks which can result in harm to any person involved in the asset throughout its life. Information
captured can include any site-wide health and safety risks associated with location, previous use, or the site's
physical characteristics. ISO 31000 and ISO 45001 to ISO 45006 cover risk management and occupational
health and safety
Health and safety related tasks such as allocation, registration and treatment can be performed by any party.
They represent a specific opportunity for making improvements to asset management using the ISO 19650
series but also a challenge because health and safety information is a collective responsibility rather than a
deliverable by an individual appointed party.
The exchange and use of health and safety information is intended to support:
— representation of the nature and characteristics of the works being undertaken, the site and the asset;
— representation of health and safety risks, hazards and associated factors;
— generalization, dissemination and re-use of health and safety knowledge and experience.
Health and safety information becomes meaningful when interpreted in the light of the history of events
and accidents associated with such risk, and in the context of the immediate and underlying circumstances
in which the risk is identified. The schema provided within this document includes a structure for recording
contextual information and incidents. One important use of incident information is to link incidents to
design factors, so that designers can learn about how their designed assets perform in use.
Organizational information requirements developed by the appointing party can reflect the required
integration of health and safety as well as modelling and sharing of information across the supply chain.
This contextual information can include information to identify characteristics of location, product, systems,
element or plant or equipment, and scope of work activity to be carried out, which are associated as sources
of the health and safety risk. Health and safety risks can be linked where appropriate to risk treatments
which prioritize the production of inherently safer outcomes during the delivery and operational phases of
an asset’s life cycle. Prior to construction, health and safety risks can be progressively defined and linked to
the context in which the harm can occur. During the construction stage the health and safety information
can be used to identify, record, use and share barriers and controls to reduce health and safety risk.
During handover and close out of the project, the health and safety information can be used to ensure that the
project information model is used to update the asset information model. This information is handed over
to those who will be responsible for managing and assessing health and safety risks during the operational
phase of the asset.
This document intends to support the use of health and safety and related information to:
— provide a safer and healthier environment for end users as well as for design, construction, operation
and maintenance personnel;
— mitigate the inherent health and safety risks and hazards across the asset life cycle;
— result in improved health and safety performance, fewer incidents and associated impacts;
— provide for clearer, more assured and relevant health and safety information to the ‘right people’ at the
‘right time’;
— increase construction and operational value.

1 Scope
This document specifies concepts and principles for classifying, sharing and delivering health and safety
information collaboratively, to secure the economic, environmental and social benefits.
This document:
a) specifies requirements for the collaborative sharing of structured health and safety information
throughout project and asset life cycles;
b) supports the digitization of structured health and safety information in project and asset life cycles
progressively from the outset;
c) provides specification on how health and safety information is shared for use throughout project and
asset life cycle;
d) sets out a health and safety information cycle framework for the identification, use, sharing and
generalization of health and safety information through information management processes.
This document is applicable to individuals and organizations that contribute to and influence the procurement,
design, construction, use (including maintenance) and end-of-life of building and infrastructure assets.
The principles and requirements of this document can be applied equally to delivery or in-use phases not
using BIM.

4.1 Objective
To deliver effective health and safety outcomes, health and safety information shall be documented, stored,
shared and presented as outlined in 4.2 to 4.5.
4.2.1 Initiation
The appointing party shall adopt the common method for structuring health and safety information (defined
in 4.3 to 4.5) to support the risk management cycle including identification, sharing, use and generalization
of information and supporting evidence relating to:
a) health and safety risk management;
b) hazard and incident management;
NOTE ISO 45001 defines ‘incident’.
c) optionally, the recording of previous and existing states of the health and safety information which can
affect works on the current project or asset.
The appointing party in determining the expectations in 4.3 to 4.5 shall consider the legal, regulatory,
supervisory and management concerns.
The scope of the health and safety risk management should include sharing sufficient information to support
the collaborative management of the risks and hazards concerning:
a) health, safety and well-being;
b) optionally, environment;
c) optionally, social/community interest.
NOTE Other types of risk can be managed using this method without collaborative sharing.
4.2.3 Context
The context within which health and safety risks are being managed shall be documented in terms of:
a) the site and surroundings, and any exceptional spatial zones or space-types or activities;
b) the asset and any exceptional physical systems or product types;
c) the project/program and any exceptional work-packages or method-statements and work sequences.
All known or perceived health and safety risks shall be documented. Health and safety risks shall be
prioritized to identify those needing further scrutiny to ensure the correct risk treatment is proposed.

EVS-EN ISO 19650-6:2025
4.2.6 Incidents
All incidents shall be recorded including ‘near miss events’, where an incident is perceived to have been
possible but did not occur.
NOTE The recording of incidents can depend on legislation and the scope of services of parties. Incidents can be
formally reportable. It can be necessaryy for the recording to reflect personal and protected categories of information.
4.3 Schema
4.3.1 Overview
Health and safety context, risks, incidents and treatments shall be described using the schema in 4.3.2
to 4.3.5 or as identified in the project/asset information standard. Figure 1 illustrates the relationships
between health and safety context, risks, incidents and treatments, showing that a project/asset context can
have both risks and incidents which can have treatments.
NOTE 2 Annex D suggests an implementation using IFC 4.3 schema and other versions in ISO 16739-1 which
supports the documentation of the health and safety risk situation in a geometric or construction and operation model.
There shall be consideration of the implementation requirements need to ensure that the provided health
and safety information meets necessary integrity, availability and confidentiality requirements.

The health and safety risk schema plays a pivotal role in supporting communication and risk assessment by providing a structured framework to describe risks, associated activities, and contextual information. This standardized description helps in assessing risks effectively and facilitates improved communication among stakeholders, ensuring everyone is aware of the potential hazards and the necessary treatment measures .
A well-defined risk treatment sub-schema is vital in construction project management as it provides a clear framework for addressing identified risks. It consists of standardized fields like identification categories, descriptions, and statuses that facilitate clear communication and efficient implementation of risk treatments, ensuring all parties understand and fulfill their responsibilities in mitigating risks .
Generalizing health and safety information throughout an asset's lifecycle is significant as it ensures consistent availability and accessibility of critical safety data. This process supports planning and risk awareness training, facilitating proactive risk management. Moreover, it allows for sharing lessons learned and best practices, promoting continuous improvement in safety measures across projects .
Ensuring that existing health and safety information is effectively shared with new stakeholders involves several processes: making coverage of essential data like survey results or risk registers available, insisting on open information sharing, and promoting collaborative behaviors. By focusing on comprehensive information exchange, organizations enhance the understanding of risks and manage them effectively from the outset .
The digitization of health and safety information significantly impacts asset management by enhancing data availability and facilitating real-time information exchange across different phases of an asset's lifecycle. This process improves coordination, ensures timely updates on safety measures, and supports automated queries and risk studies, ultimately leading to safer and more efficient management practices .
Critical elements in the project information model essential for accurate health and safety information management include clear documentation of risks, consistent information exchange formats, incident records, and linkage between different project stages. These elements provide comprehensive insights into safety management, facilitating timely updates and communication of safety information .
Proper identification of health and safety risks during the construction phase is crucial for incident mitigation as it enables early recognition and management of potential hazards. This proactive approach eliminates or reduces risks before they escalate, resulting in fewer accidents and injuries, thus enhancing the overall safety of the construction environment .
Organizational information requirements are crucial in fostering improved health and safety outcomes by integrating health and safety considerations throughout the asset's lifecycle. They enable the collaborative sharing of structured health and safety information, which supports safer design, construction, operation, and maintenance processes. This integration ensures that hazards and risks are identified early and managed proactively, leading to better safety performance and fewer incidents .
Interoperability and effective information exchange methods contribute to health and safety risk management by ensuring seamless transfer of data between different systems and platforms. This improves stakeholders' ability to access and utilize health and safety information promptly, coordinate risk management activities, and ensure compliance with safety standards, thus enhancing the overall safety of project execution and operation .
The key components of a health and safety risk management strategy include processes for capturing and sharing information, use of consistent and open information exchange formats, and the establishment of an open learning system. These components help ensure comprehensive and collaborative risk management efforts, enabling multiple contributions and facilitating effective communication throughout the asset's lifecycle .
