Construction Project Management Software Features - Jobsite Safety Meetings

In the US, the construction industry employs more than five million workers which is roughly 5% of the workface, but more than 10% of industrial accidents happen in this industry. However, recent statistics from the US government show encouraging signs that the construction industry's safety record is improving. One recent insurance company study indicated a 33% decrease in the frequency of lost-time claims since the early 1990s. Most safety experts credit the dramatic decrease in accidents to increase in safety training.

According to OSHA regulations, each employer shall provide safety information to protect the well-being of its employees. All building companies and contractors, no matter their size, must comply with the OSHA HazCom standard. To improve safety awareness, you may use Corecon as your delivery method to provide safety training or to report on any safety accidents. With a solid Safety Program in place, you should be able to save money by reducing risk and ensuring compliance while improving your work environment.

Corecon’s construction software suite provides you the ability to organize your safety meetings. The Safety Meetings feature should facilitate delivery of health and safety training to labor and management, keep employees well informed about health and safety through educational programs and related material such as publications and videotapes, and record who attended each safety meeting.
