Coalition for Construction Safety’s Post

This year’s theme for Construction Safety Week is “Value Every Voice.” We couldn’t agree more and believe that Psychological Safety is essential to project safety and a healthy workplace. It promotes a culture where employees feel safe to share their thoughts, opinions, ideas, or even mistakes. RSI’s own Dr. Jonathon Graziano co-developed “Silence Fails: Unlocking Organizational Excellence through Psychological Safety” in collaboration with Julie Goeckner, DOE’s Safety Culture Advisor. The two co-presented the important topic at Safety Fest Tennessee last week in Oak Ridge, TN. Psychological safety is a topic that Jon is passionate about, and one that he hopes to promote throughout industry. #RSI #BeUncommon #LegacyRedefined #ASRCIndustrial #UnifiedByPurpose #DOESafetyCulture #DOESafetyCultureImprovementPanel

With suicide rates in the construction industry notably higher than national averages, Intelex’s technology offers real-time insights and proactive management tools that help mitigate risks and support worker well-being. As the industry confronts these serious challenges, adopting advanced EHSQ platforms like those provided by Intelex can be a game-changer, enhancing the overall safety landscape and ensuring that mental health is prioritized alongside physical safety. This strategic integration is essential not only for improving individual worker health but also for boosting overall organizational productivity and sustainability in the demanding world of construction.

Safety is the foundation on which every construction project stands. Discover the blueprint for construction safety excellence as we sit down with Gabe Guetta, Founder at SALUS. Our conversation is about innovations in #constructionsafety and ways to make the future of construction safer and more efficient. We debate the delicate balance between convenience and necessary engagement, acknowledging the potential for AI to enhance hazard assessments while emphasizing the importance of keeping safety checks meaningful. We reflect on the history of workplace safety practices, identifying the pivotal shift from checkbox assessments to dynamic, behavior-adaptive experiences. It's about fostering a deep-rooted culture of care and understanding the 'why' behind compliance. Listen to the full episode here https://lnkd.in/gnfg6jAQ

When it comes to safety, can the tools we use to stop complacency actually cause complacency? What is technology’s role in safety, now and in the future? These topics and more were explored in a recent episode of the Site Visit Podcast, featuring our very own CEO, Gabe Guetta. Gabe and host James Faulkner got into the importance of finding the “why” behind safety, unlocking crucial access to safety information, using AI responsibly and learning from customers in order to help elevate their safety practices. They also pointed out some traces of aging workflows that still exist in softwares we use today, and Gabe recounted some past experiences in construction where complacency affected his own safety. Give it a listen, and be sure to check out more of their episodes, too — we’ve been enjoying the insights the Site Visit Podcast reveals from so many inspiring leaders in the construction space. Many thanks to SiteMax Systems Inc. and #BUILDEXVancouver for hosting, and for starting important conversations for the benefit of the industry.
