are linked to the worker to provide a 360-degree view of what ’ s happening without being there .

2 . Easily Find Safety Patterns with Dashboards
Safety experts using a centralized safety platform find patterns with easy to analyze business intelligence dashboards . For example , they can quickly see that the most near misses happen when a worker has worked over eight hours in a day or on days when the temperature is over 100 degrees F . It ’ s a well-known fact that most injuries and incidents happen much later in the project when workers get comfortable with repetitive tasks . With a safety platform , you can ramp up the pre-task planning meetings , toolbox talks , task observations , and safety checklists to overcome these repetitivetask issues leading to late project injuries and incidents . It ’ s easy to see the checks and balances in place to increase the measurable guardrails to avoid the late project injuries and accidents from repetitive tasks .
3 . Predict Safety Risks & Course Correct Now
With centralized safety data , you can predict the likelihood of an incident and take course corrections immediately . You analyze near misses on one project to find the root cause of the issues and make sure that you apply the insights across your entire portfolio of projects . You quickly see on business intelligence dashboards if one jobsite has more near misses than another jobsite . It ’ s also easy to see if one subcontractor reports more near misses than others . You can find out how the subcontractor makes the workers feel safe to report near misses to avoid major incidents to share with other subs .
Enter The Integrated Safety Platform
A safety platform connects the worker to all the critical elements to mitigate safety and allows contractors to put controls in place . Because a safety platform has the worker at the heart of the system , you know with confidence the right person has the right certification to perform the work and has the right training or certification to operate the piece of equipment .
Workers sign in daily and are flagged if they shouldn ’ t be on the jobsite and alerts are sent to the appropriate supervisors . General contractors confidently know trade partners ’ insurances are up-todate , and their employees are certified to perform the work for the permits . With the worker at the heart of the safety control tower , JHAs , equipment , permits , meetings , injuries , and inspections
Safety as an afterthought , leaves a contractor blindsided to what is truly happening onsite and the risk exposure to workers and the contractor . Construction has come along way on the digitization journey over the last decade with software platforms for estimating , scheduling , project management , and financials . Safety and quality , such critical field operations , are now the final pillars of construction that truly bring all the key project indicators together in a single management solution . With centralized safety data all in one place , safety managers spend their time analyzing and predicting risks rather than spending time collecting data to create reports for lagging indicators .
With centralized safety data all in one place you can make better decisions faster to keep projects on schedule , within budget , and safer .
