Safety

New startup SmartSite recently released a new tech tool to track the elements construction crews are exposed to and take measures to protect them from harmful effects that can lead to serious health problems. So reports Tech Crunch.

In some parts of the world, including remote areas of the United States, construction workers might be handling a specific task alone. What happens when that worker becomes immobilized and can’t make a call for help?

An international project lead by researchers as the University of England aims to reduce occupational injuries and illnesses in the construction industry. So reports Phys.org.

Fines for health and safety violations, many of which are completely preventable, can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses for a construction business.
