SEPTEMBER 2022CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6The construction industry is always looking to reduce workplace injuries by ramping up its safety and compliance efforts. From the implementation of digital permit-to-work (ePTW) systems for planning out high-risk workflows to the utilization of wearable `smart vests' to cushion falls at the worksites, the industry is leveraging technology to upgrade their safety and compliance capabilities. Construction organizations are already witnessing a return of $4 for every $1 they invest in safety and compliance programs.This growth is driven by the move of foresighted organizations to go beyond meeting the minimum compliance requirements and ensuring a safe working environment for their employees. To support this goal, organizations are taking full advantage of advanced technologies like AI and 360-degree hat-mounted cameras to facilitate accurate, automated hazard detection in work sites. To put the spotlight on such key developments in the industry, Construction Business Review illustrates how companies are leveraging the latest technologies to augment their safety and compliance requirements, and meet the expectations of both employees and the regulatory agencies. This edition also features thought leadership articles from subject matter experts on the ongoing trends, best practices, and recent innovations.
