Full title and description

PAS 1192-6:2018 — Specification for collaborative sharing and use of structured Health and Safety information using BIM. A British PAS that defines requirements and guidance for producing, structuring, sharing and applying health & safety (H&S) information across the design, construction and asset life‑cycles using Building Information Modelling (BIM) processes and related information systems.

Abstract

PAS 1192-6:2018 sets out a framework and practical requirements for the collaborative capture, contextualisation, filtering and delivery of H&S information so that the right people receive relevant, validated safety information at the right time. It introduces a risk‑information cycle for the use of structured H&S data within models, documents and workflows and explains how H&S information can be integrated with BIM and non‑BIM processes to improve safety outcomes throughout project and asset lifecycles.

Scope

The PAS applies to individuals and organisations that influence or contribute to the procurement, design, construction, use (including maintenance) and end‑of‑life of built assets. It specifies how structured H&S information should be developed, contextualised, exchanged and used across project and asset life‑cycles, supporting automated queries, selective filtering of hazards/risks, and delivery of safety‑critical information to the appropriate stakeholders. It does not change statutory duties, nor does it itself cover security threats (see PAS 1192-5) or commercial/operational/political risk management.

Key topics and requirements

• Requirements for collaborative sharing of structured health & safety information using BIM and compatible workflows.
• Risk information cycle: capture, contextualisation, prioritisation, dissemination and feedback of H&S data across lifecycle stages.
• Contextualisation and filtering of hazards and risks so safety‑critical information is prioritised and consumable by specific roles.
• Guidance on integration of H&S data with information models, documents, and Common Data Environments (CDEs).
• Specification of attributes, metadata and access control considerations for H&S information (need‑to‑know access).
• Use cases for applying H&S information to reduce incidents, support emergency preparedness and improve operational safety.
• Notes on interoperability, reuse of H&S knowledge and linkage with other standards in the PAS/BS/ISO 19650 family.

Typical use and users

Primary users include BIM managers, information managers, principal designers, health & safety professionals, project managers, architects, engineers, contractors, facilities managers and software vendors. The PAS is used to inform Employer’s Information Requirements (EIR), BIM Execution Plans (BEPs), asset information specifications, and the structuring of H&S data for handover, operation and maintenance. It is also a reference for academic courses and students studying BIM and construction H&S.

Related standards

Related documents include other PAS 1192 series items (PAS 1192-2, PAS 1192-3, PAS 1192-5, PAS 1192-7), BS 1192, BS 1192-4, BS 8536 (facilities management information), and the ISO/BS EN 19650 series — in particular BS EN ISO 19650-6:2025 which supersedes PAS 1192-6. Users should consider PAS 1192-6 in the context of organisational H&S management systems and statutory H&S regulation.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: PAS 1192-6:2018 is a British PAS titled "Specification for collaborative sharing and use of structured Health and Safety information using BIM" that sets requirements and guidance for creating, sharing and applying structured H&S information in built‑asset projects.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the principles and practical requirements for capturing H&S hazards and risks, contextualising and filtering that information, integrating it with BIM and project information systems, and delivering validated safety information to the right stakeholders at the right time across the project and asset lifecycle.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: BIM and information managers, H&S professionals, designers, contractors, facilities managers, software developers (BIM tools) and clients who need to structure and share H&S data for design, construction, operation and maintenance.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: PAS 1192-6:2018 has been superseded and withdrawn in practice — its content has been incorporated into the ISO/BS EN 19650 family. The international replacement is BS EN ISO 19650-6:2025 (published January 23, 2025), which now serves as the current reference for H&S information management in the ISO 19650 framework.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — PAS 1192-6 is part of the PAS 1192 series of documents developed to support BIM Level 2 information management. It is intended to work alongside PAS 1192-2, PAS 1192-3, PAS 1192-5 and other BS/PAS documents and has informed the later ISO 19650 series.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Health and safety, BIM, risk information, structured data, information management, Common Data Environment, PAS 1192, asset lifecycle, H&S metadata, access control.
