LM-DSB: A Lightweight Multi-agent System for Automated Daily Safety Bulletin Generation in Construction
Summary
- Researchers proposed LM-DSB, a lightweight multi-agent system for automating daily safety bulletins in construction.
- The system integrates retrieval-augmented generation with a locally deployable Llama 3-8B model running on consumer hardware.
- It coordinates specialized planner, researcher, and writer agents grounded in 37 health, safety, and environment documents.
- Phase 2 expert evaluation with 40 participants confirmed high practical acceptability, particularly in regulatory compliance and factual accuracy.
Why it matters
Demonstrates that architectural design enables lightweight local LLMs to efficiently handle safety-critical documentation on standard consumer hardware, democratizing safety management technology in construction.
