SafetyCulture has helped businesses around the world achieve
*Reported in Forrester’s study: The Total Economic Impact™ of SafetyCulture’s Operations Platform
Boost productivity on site
Everyday presents new challenges on a construction site. Keep everyone informed and aligned by conducting waste audits, carbon reporting, and monitoring pollution levels. 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.”
Optimize onsite resource usage
Identify opportunities to minimize waste production by allocating resources more efficiently. Incorporate sensors into different areas of a construction site and check for temperature, humidity, air quality, and other factors that affect the quality of equipment, assets, and other supplies. Integrate inventory management systems for centralized monitoring to optimize resource allocation.
Incorporate field insights for data-driven decisions
Take advantage of powerful data analytics to assess how construction materials and processes impact the environment. Determine which aspects of a construction project contain gaps with sustainability efforts and implement corrective actions as needed.
Ensure compliance with environmental policies
Conduct frequent inspections across a construction site to verify compliance with environmental requirements. Easily create digital reports using checklists and include media attachments for supporting documentation when completing an audit.
Drive improvement across every jobsite
“You are going to get better quality out in the field if you run a clean, quality and safe job. That’s just the way we see it.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Sustainability interacts with various processes throughout a construction project by integrating environmental, social, and economic aspects into each stage. For example, the planning phase would involve identifying eco-friendly materials, optimizing site location to reduce environmental impact, and still ensuring cost efficiency in building designs for sustainability. Resource management plays an important role in this, as sustainability goals can alter the coordination of different stakeholders and materials within the project.
Technology improves sustainability in construction by enabling more efficient use of resources, reducing waste, and enhancing overall project management. One of the primary ways is through integration, where green building technologies are integrated within existing systems to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprints. This not only helps streamline operations but also provides long-term efficiency and sustainability.
Using sustainability-focused software for construction is crucial since it helps project managers and teams track and optimize resources, ensuring that materials, energy, and resources are used responsibly. This kind of software is typically designed to provide data-driven insights that meet green standards, allowing for more accurate environmental impact assessments for a construction project.
All stakeholders involved in a construction project benefit from using software for construction sustainability. However, operations managers, contractors, and safety managers are the ones who are likely to use it more often. This kind of software provides better visibility over operations and how sustainability aligns with the overall goals of a project, which helps them plan better.
As a platform, SafetyCulture can be used to foster sustainability in construction through seamless integration and powerful analytics. SafetyCulture has features that make it easy to streamline sustainable practices into existing processes while providing better visibility over operations through data analysis. This not only boosts operational efficiency but also promotes best practices for the environment and the safety of everyone involved in a construction project.
