The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows construction and extraction have the second highest workplace fatality rate compared to other industries in the United States. OSHA’s most frequently cited hazard in 2023 was falls. There is an urgent need for proactive safety measures across the industry, so how are you mitigating risk for your teams in the field before you even step on the jobsite?
Contractors typically don’t have access to exterior or site plans on existing buildings. As a result, they’re left to perform physical site visits, exposing workers to potential hazards like unstable structures or adverse weather conditions. These onsite visits also increase labor costs, waste time, and can require multiple trips. With advances in construction technology, many have turned to satellite images to access project information, but their lower resolution is unreliable and inaccurate.
