Find out how technological advancement can boost construction safety.
A safe construction site is a productive site. However, construction is a dangerous job and it can be difficult to keep your site safe. Luckily, the emergence of new technologies can help you promote safe commercial construction in the Bay Area. Here are some of the technologies that can help you improve safety.
Wearable Technology
A worker cannot always tell when they are pushing their body beyond its limits. The way a worker lifts, bends, and twists can result in serious injuries if they are not doing so with proper technique. Wearables keep track of the worker’s movements and can offer important data that can then be used to better train workers.
Drones
Drones have the ability to get into tough positions and can oversee an ongoing construction project. Drones can be used to monitor safety concerns, and safety officers can use drone technology to ensure that safety regulations are being met. Additionally, drones allow the construction company to see every aspect of a project and can help them determine if there are any potentially dangerous building errors that need to be addressed.
3D Models
Surprisingly, 3D printing can actually help keep construction sites safer as well. This is because 3D models allow engineers and architects to see potential points of failure in a building design. Additionally, managers can use 3D models to more accurately predict the amount of labor they will need to safely complete the job. Finally, a 3D model can also alert engineers to any issues that could occur between the structure and the site. This can help them prevent on-site accidents before they even happen.
These are some of the new technologies that can help improve the safety of your construction site.
