Abstract
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is still a critical problem in the construction industry characterised by many Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The role of knowledge in improving safety performances has been deeply investigated, suggesting the integration of Knowledge Management (KM) issues in the traditional approach to OHS management systems. On these considerations, a KM tool, specifically designed for SMEs in the construction field, was developed. Its architecture extends the document and content management features allowing users an easy aggregation and capitalisation of information from different sources, facilitating the creation of corporate memory throughout different companies.
