Boost productivity on site
Everyday presents new challenges on a construction site. Keep everyone informed and aligned by streamlining ergonomic hazard prevention strategies. The moment something changes you can adapt processes and procedures in a few clicks, with changes rolling out instantly to everyone on site.
“SafetyCulture has saved us about 1,500 man hours per year. That’s a huge efficiency gain.”
Prevent incidents and promote a safety culture
Encourage a supportive and inclusive culture where teams are comfortable reporting safety concerns and addressing potential risks. By making it easy for anyone to report observations, hazards, near misses, and incidents, you can respond quickly and put the right measures in place.
“Today, we’re at 2.5 million hours without a lost time injury. SafetyCulture allows us to achieve that. You don’t work 2.5 million hours and just be lucky.”
Efficiently highlight injury and accident risks
Construction sites come with inherent safety hazards, but conducting routine inspections can help decrease the frequency of accidents. Empower teams to accurately report these hazards in real time with media attachments and use their reports to identify the ergonomic risks associated with on-site activities.
Keep equipment in good condition for safety
Monitor the condition of frequently used construction tools and garments, such as personal protective equipment, to ensure they are usable and still up to standard. Attach unique profile codes for equipment to provide digital usage manuals and encourage teams to adhere to the proper use of equipment and tools.
Drive up continuous improvement across teams
Deliver effective training modules that cover best ergonomic practices to emphasize the importance of proper equipment use. Tag relevant team members as needed to make sure they understand the importance of ergonomics for construction tasks.
Drive improvement across every jobsite
“When I started at Coffey Testing we had 13 lost time injuries (LTIs) in that year, and for the last 4 years we haven’t had a single LTI because of our improved incident reporting, communication and management, which is great.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Using software for ergonomics in construction presents numerous benefits, as it helps identify hazards around the workplace and reduce the risk of injury. In line with this, construction ergonomics software can also boost productivity and improve compliance with safety regulations.
To effectively implement construction ergonomics software, companies should engage their workers and have them understand the importance of ergonomics in their activities. This can be done by rolling out training modules and regularly involving workers when addressing ergonomic safety issues.
When choosing construction ergonomics software, consider the following features:
- Risk Assessment Tools
- Comprehensive Data Analysis
- Reporting Function
- Data Interpretation
- Feedback Mechanisms
Ideally, software for construction ergonomics should be customizable to perform different analyses depending on a project’s needs. A good software solution will be able to facilitate assessments concerning the risks involved with certain construction tasks and document evaluations for continuous improvement.
Construction companies can measure the effectiveness of construction ergonomics software by looking at factors such as:
- Injury Frequency Rate
- Worker Feedback
- Productivity Metrics
These factors can be a basis to understanding the improvements brought by the introduction of ergonomics software for construction projects.
