Workplace injuries and illnesses are among the largest contributors to lags in productivity and workplace morale. However, they can easily be prevented by implementing plans, procedures, and technologies that keep everyone safe. Explore the latest advancements in office building safety technology for a secure and protected work environment. Enhance workplace safety and peace of mind with Valenti’s guide to office building safety technology.

Office Building Safety Technology

When it comes to office safety technology, Valenti is leading the way. This is reflected in our expertise in commercial construction, but it is also reflected in the technology our employees implement when completing jobs. Successfully implementing workplace safety technology is among our top priorities in this ever-changing workplace landscape. Learn more about the newest innovations in office and workplace safety technology.

Wearable Technology

Wearable safety technology has made significant strides relatively recently, especially in the construction field. Loud noises, extreme temperatures, and risk in job-related tasks mean that wearable technology is vital for safely completing a job.

Cooling vests are an example of technology that is especially important during the summer months here in the deep south. Cooling vests can help keep workers acclimated to high temperatures, especially when performing rigorous tasks.

Other devices like panic buttons can prove especially vital in loud or remote construction areas. These devices can be pressed in the event of an emergency, alerting the necessary people of the incident. Panic buttons and similar devices are great tools for keeping workers safe.

Communication is key on construction sites. That’s why communication technology is key to keeping everyone informed and aware to reduce accidents and injuries. Two-way communication headsets provide hands-free, instant communication that can be a life, limb, and job saver when it matters most.

3D Visualization

Implementing 3D renderings of construction areas can help improve workplace safety by giving workers a look at problem areas so that they can assess how to proceed with solutions, without having to actually visit the dangerous site.

The ability to see danger zones in advance can save companies time, money, and resources by not having to put boots on the ground to inspect problem areas. 3D imaging technology allows a comprehensive virtual look without sacrificing manpower or risking injury to employees.

Drones

It comes as no surprise that drones now play a vital role in construction site technology and development. In the same ways that 3D technology is changing the construction field, drones are giving builders an up-close view of areas that were once inaccessible to people.

The maneuverability and relative affordability of drones make them indispensable in construction, especially for large projects with hazardous components. Drones can get into areas that workers can’t and can relay data that is crucial to planning the next phase of construction projects—all without putting workers at risk.

Drones are quickly proving their worth in keeping the workplace safe. As drone technology improves, so too will workers’ ability to spot issues in construction projects and fix them before putting people at risk.

Safety Apps

As nearly every worker in the modern construction industry owns a smartphone or other smart device, safety apps are a way for employers to keep the workforce safe. All that is required of a worker is to download an app onto their device that will help them get through the workday safely.

Safety apps can provide a number of features that can keep construction areas safe. For instance, they can advise of excessive heat or chemical levels to alert workers of possible unseen hazards. However, they can also give proper ladder angles, tensions, and measurements to ensure the job is done properly and as safely as possible.

As there is seemingly an app for everything, smart device applications will prove invaluable moving forward for keeping a job site safe during construction.
