Automated Compliance Checking Situation in Health and Safety Management In UK’s Infrastructure Sector

Abstract: Existing research on automated compliance checking (ACC) of health and safety (H&S) regulations has mainly focused on the technical aspects and the building sector. Research focusing on the organisational aspects of ACC in the infrastructure sector is lacking. This study used a case study to explore the issues and readiness to implement ACC in H&S in a design organisation in the UK’s infrastructure sector. The findings show there is low readiness with issues in four main aspects, where suggestions were proposed to address them to improve the H&S outcomes in the UK’s infrastructure sector.
