The construction sites are one of the most dangerous sites for work. Many construction activities have a potential for accidents and injuries, costing millions of dollars per year to corporations. According to the US National Safety Council, work-related accidents have caused companies to lose 103,000,000 production days in 2018. Out of each 5,000 private-industry employee fatalities, 20 percent are construction allied. That means one out of every five worker deaths is related to construction.
While the construction industry is potentially dangerous, some of these hazards can be mitigated by adequate protection, health training, routine inspections, and upgraded equipment. In addition, companies can save millions of dollars each year by eliminating safety risks associated with slides, falls, and other hazards.

- COVID – 19 preventability
Employers have responsibilities to shield workers from occupational risks as laid out in the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). The dissemination of COVID-19 around the world and the accompanying demands for social distancing has posed various concerns for employers. To reduce the infection and maintain physical distancing, the supervisor can complete an inspection form on every worker’s behalf. The Solution has the ability to capture pictures of the crew members from a safe distance instead of having them touch the device for sign off.
- Digital transformation
User adoption is critical for new process implementation. Many organizations’ concern is that employees are reluctant to evolving technology prefer to fill up forms through laptops and other mobile devices. To help employees conquer their anxiety, Optical character recognition (OCR) integration allows the Solution to recognize words and characters on a scanned paper or visual representations of physical typed or handwritten documents. The other voice-to-text feature permits to capture data faster, monitor real-time issues, and facilitate hand-free working.
The Solution is built on the SAP Cloud Platform with pre-built integration with SAP SuccessFactors, as well as with third-party systems.
