The Reality of AI for Construction Safety

The construction industry can be a dangerous workplace for many workers at the field level. The need for construction workers to be in a safe and sound state of mind to avoid hazards is vital to protecting their health. Artificial Intelligence has the potential to change how companies evaluate risks, protect workers better, and provide everyone with direct access to knowledge and procedures. Rob McKinney believes in the potential of how technology can reduce risks and improve safety performance. In this presentation, attendees will learn about how new advances in AI can make a positive impact on your organization to create a safer workplace.

Learning Objectives:

What is AI… Really

• How to define what Artificial Intelligence is.
• The levels of Artificial Intelligence currently.
• Examples of AI in lifestyle now.

How can AI help improve safety workflows?

• Focus first on the problems you are looking to solve, then look for the AI.
• Start by breaking it into 3 categories: admin tooling, regulatory data, and empowering craftworkers to buy into software.
• Translation tools, interactive safety process, and develop programs.

Examples of AI in current software

• Newmetrix: visual monitoring of PPE and hazards.
• Document Crunch: review of legal contracts.
• SALUS: for safety meeting topic generation.
