Harnessing Data and Empowering People to Improve Safety on Construction Job Sites
The construction industry has many unique safety challenges, such as a complex environment, threats that change as the project evolves and the integration of temporary workers into the safety culture. In addition to this, many construction workers have often resisted using digital tools for important tasks like safety observations, preferring instead traditional methods like paper forms.
Yet the world of data can transform construction safety to help prevent incidents before they happen. With a digital safety management system built on Intelex, construction organizations can work to ensure every frontline worker understands the risks of the work environment and can contribute to a healthy safety culture.
This Insight Report examines how digital safety solutions from Intelex can help construction organizations transform their approach to safety. You will learn about the following:
- How data that supports leading indicators can prevent incidents before they happen.
- How to use a digital safety management system to create a proactive safety culture and empower frontline workers.
- How Intelex safety management solutions can help you improve your construction safety culture.
The ROI of Safety: Making the Business Case for Safety and Health
Liberty Mutual estimates that U.S. employers pay more than $1 billion per week for direct workers’ compensation costs—a total of $58 billion per year—for disabling, non-fatal workplace injuries.
Those direct costs don’t include indirect costs, like training replacement employees, accident investigation and implementation of corrective measures. It’s not surprising, then, that the return on an investment (ROI) in safety is significant. However, many professionals find it challenging to demonstrate a business case for health and safety. This ebook provides an overview of:
- The key steps for building a business case for safety.
- How to demonstrate increased operational efficiency and cost savings.
- Industry tools to calculate the value of safety.

Equipment SOLUTIONS Tool Inventory Management
One of ToolHound’s clients is a construction firm with two branches: large commercial projects and small projects and maintenance. Between new construction, demolitions, interior renovations, and space maintenance, their toolroom is home to a substantial inventory of tools and supplies. But managing that inventory proved challenging—not only did they have trouble tracking where tools were, but they were also losing tools and supplies at an alarming rate. They needed a solution that would reduce loss (to assets and profits), that would be easy to implement, and that would allow them to have instant, on-demand access to their inventory.
