Worksite Safety and Communications

LOCATION: Michigan, USA
PHASE: PILOT
PRIMARY USE CASES: LONE WORKER, WORKER CONDITION MONITORING, REMOTE EXPERT, CONTROL ACCESS ZONING
Challenges:
Barton Malow is leaning forward in digitizing many aspects of construction and looked to Guardhat to help bring tools to its frontline crews to improve safety and productivity. The team wanted to ensure crew members could be quickly found, communicated with and assisted if they faced trouble – both in terms of safety and tasks to complete. Barton Malow was primarily interested in protecting workers in large, congested sites and where weather extremes like heat and lightening were a concern, but also in maintaining open lines of communications across long distances to keep the project running.

RESULTS
- Lone workers location and status known across the site in real-time
- 80% reduction in time to have full crew sheltered in lightening alerts
- PPT feature encouraged user acceptance
Solutions
Barton Malow deployed the Guardhat connected worker system, utilizing several devices – smart hardhats, tags, and mobile apps – to test worker acceptance and use across form factors.
