Use data produced by digitization to improve safety for utility companies’ workers and customers. Discover how electric utilities can enable their workers to be more productive, boost their resilience and reliability, and make better short- and long-term decisions.

You need to make keen observations of the workplace, whether with scheduled inspections or through real-time issue observation. You need to make keen observations of the workplace, whether with scheduled inspections or through real-time issue observation. But these moments in time become substantially more valuable if they can be aggregated to help you describe, justify, and make decisions about your quality program. Converting quality inspections, observations, and even everyday actions into easy-to-access data can provide the quantitative basis for higher-quality outcomes and better decision-making.

Two experienced geospatial pros discuss the challenges and lessons learned over their GIS careers. Since field inspections require sharp eyes, high-quality data collection, and location information, they’ve always required a complex stew of technologies to support them.

Fulcrum you can develop custom field inspection management software that will help you keep up with your people and assets in the field. Even when your team does most of its work outside an office – in remote areas, without readily-available landmarks, out of the reach of mobile networks – you’ve got to keep track of your people and assets and ensure their tasks get done well and quickly. The question is, how?

This webinar will discuss how digital inspections and SOPs can draw remote team members into your safety culture. Physical distance, transit times, and less frequent communication make every aspect of fieldwork harder. It’s difficult enough to promote a culture of safety face-to-face: How do you even start to do it with field teams or lone workers?

Using field-team actions to generate high-quality, location-rich datasets for better business performance. Use field-team actions to generate high-quality, location-rich datasets for better business performance.

How specific is the average worker’s understanding of why they engage in safety processes? The crudest of “whys” is that we do it because we’re told to. This leads to “what we dos” that include core safety requirements attained through the “how we do it” of safety precautions and inspections. But such a crude view of the why, what, and how of safety leads to rote compliance: It doesn’t engage the emotions and energy of all of our fellow workers, which means it will never be a core cultural value.

This webinar talks about closing the loop by connecting inspections and workflows to insights that drive safer, higher-quality outcomes.

Steel-toed boots and hard hats are only part of the story.
