1. Invest in the Latest Gear

It used to be that the best gear for construction sites was nothing more than a helmet, a vest, and just about any pair of boots. Today there are much better types of gear available, including work clothes that can protect workers from injuries, work boots that offer incredible performance, and more secure helmets. This requires a relatively small investment but can have a huge return on that investment in lower accident rates.

2. Get a Drone

Drones may be known as something only tech folks want but in truth they are great for improving safety too. They can be used to assess sites without the requirement for climbing up through half-completed construction projects, they can get to any accidents quickly and provide instant communication.

3. Use a Safety App

There’s an app for just about anything today, including construction safety apps. For example, you can use an app for workers who have to climb to high places. The app will detect a fall and sound an alarm so others are immediately alerted. Other apps can be used to look at safety procedures to ensure they are through.

4. Take Safety Regulations Seriously

Safety regulations can feel like a pain but in reality they are essential in preventing accidents. Staying up to date with the constantly changing OSHA standards can be challenging but, once again, there is an app for that. For example, the newest regulations require a distance of at least six feet for anyone working on an unprotected roof edge.

5. Have a First Aid Kit on Site

With so many innovative solutions that can help reduce the chance of accidents it can be easy to forget that there are some tried-and-true elements that should not be forgotten. Case in point, it is essential to have a first-aid kit on site at all times.
