A data-driven approach to mitigate safety and quality risk in construction

By using consistent digital inspection processes, we can make our data more available for modern analysis.

Experts point to the growing importance of data-driven management in construction safety. We should be able to use the increasingly available amount of construction safety-related data to improve safety decisions and protocols. But when our safety inspection data is dispersed among hard drives, filing cabinets, and Construction Management Systems, it becomes extremely difficult to assemble, process, and analyze this data. Our safety program remains outside the domain of modern analysis techniques, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML).

By using consistent digital inspection processes, we can make our data more available for modern analysis, which helps us deliver insights and knowledge that address the human and financial risks of the construction environment. Digitization, then, is the first step in more effectively mitigating construction safety and quality risk across all of our projects and clients.

Learning Objectives:

Learn how to adapt quality control, safety, and data collection processes to meet requirements of different clients and contractors
Obtain on-site safety and quality control sign-off from all parties
Capture information from any source, including visual inspections, nondestructive testing, drones, and more
Demonstrate your improved safety posture for a lower EMR and a better company brand

Five reasons why environmental engineers need field inspection management software

As an environmental engineer, you count on field inspections to make sure your teams are safe and that you’re following the moving target of environmental regulations. Picking the right field inspection management software can make the difference between compliance and lots of face time with EPA regulators or OSHA investigators. Read on to see how […]

New rules, higher fines: How to be OSHA-compliant in 2023

As companies get fully back to work following several tumultuous years, OSHA is reasserting its presence and re-emphasizing the importance of workplace safety. Effective January 5, 2023, OSHA raised the penalty rate to $15,625 per violation (up from $14.502). Eleven days later, OSHA provided new guidance for inspectors doing Instance-by-Instance (IBI) and “grouping” citations, two […]

Why OSHA inspection software is much bigger than compliance

Safety inspections can sometimes make you feel like outsiders are trying to find fault with your work. OSHA, of course, requires you to conduct safety inspections, but so do insurance providers, investors, unions, contractors, and state and local agencies. Many see this as a burden, but inspections have their purpose and can yield benefits – […]
