Prioritizing Protection for Workers and Assets.

Construction sites require rigorous safety protocols to protect workers and assets. Construction management software has helped automate and streamline various aspects of the construction business, making it an essential tool. Some recommended safety measures include conducting risk assessments, establishing physical barriers, controlling access, installing video surveillance systems, protecting equipment and materials, implementing alarm systems, and training employees to recognize security risks. Challenges in safety compliance exist for smaller, non-union contractors, who may ignore safety standards due to lack of knowledge or disregard. OSHA standards and inspections apply to national construction, with some variations at the local level. New York City has extensive safety training requirements for workers and supervisors.
