Wearing It: Jobsite Technology That’s Improving Worker Safety, Increasing Visibility and Mitigating Risk

January 30, 2018

Session Overview

• The Technology

• The Use of the Technology

• What Is It Changing and Improving

• Where Is the Industry Heading?

WearablesSourcing To Solve The Problem

Thomas GrandmaisonEVP – Energy & Construction Industry LeaderAIG

Goal -Identify hazard, Analyze data in real-time – use

insights to Change behavior – Modify risk

‘Source to Solve’

Protect against noxious gases or high temperatures

Reduce strains and sprains

Bio sensors alert of dehydration and more

Add security in lone and/or remote worker

Allow for 2-way communication and/or alerts for emergencies

Better enforce safety protocols

Vehicle and equipment operation

And more …

• May 2017: Honeywell announced Sotera™, a new, comprehensive safety software platform to support its growing portfolio of connected industrial worker solutions

IBM, Honeywell, and Flextronics are all exploring Industrial Wearables and think the opportunity for Industrial Wearables may be greater than Consumer Wearables. AIG is connecting with all three companies.

Major Technology Companies are Exploring Wearables

• IBM, Haifa is exploring how Wearables, IoT, and Cognitive Computing can improve worker safety.

• IBM has done several pilots

• Flex just acquired Olio Devices to accelerate their wearable program

• Flex’s Sketch-to-ScaleTM platform gives manufactures an optimal opportunity to create smarter wearable solutions.

Triax’s Focus

Construction safety technology company that specializes in connecting

challenging IT environments

Safety Remains a Top Priority – and Challenge

According to the BLS, 21.4% of worker fatalities in the private industry in 2015 – 937 of 4,379 –

occurred in construction

Factors Affecting Construction Safety

Low Project Margins

Changing Labor Force

Lack of Digitization

A Safer Jobsite Is a More Successful Jobsite

Lack of Visibility

Lack of Effective Communication

Spot-r ClipNetwork

What is Spot-r?

Data-driven visibility into workforce and equipment location, activity, interaction, and safety – all in real-time

DashboardSpot-r EquipTag Spot-r EvacTag

Custom-built reports allow you to view, analyze and share on-going workforce, equipment, and safety data with decision-makers

With our new Project Zone Health Check view get real-time insight and alerts into temperature and humidity levels across your jobsite.

Mitigate Loss Severity

Key incident safety log helps combat and deter fraudulent claims

Knowing when and where an incident occurs improves response time and reduces risk of compounding injuries

Fewer claims lead to lower MOD ratings and eventually lower premiums

Real-time, sitewide audible and visual evacuation notifications via Spot-r Clip and EvacTags

Improve Loss Frequency

Dashboard allows supervisors to monitor evacuation progress and real-time worker condition

Push-button enables workers to report other injuries or unsafe worksite conditions without leaving their post

Real-time safety data creates coachable moments to improve overall safety culture

Positive impact and effect downstream on subcontractor risk—virtually all lines

Example: Looking for Ways to Improve Control

• How do we increase our volume of observations?

• How can we enhance the sophistication of our analysis?

• How can we respond more quickly to what is happening?

Assessing Progress

Research & Development

Standard Template:

• Outlines Hypotheses

• Identifies Resources

• Establishes Milestones

• Tracks Results

SuffolkInnovationStrategyGroupExperimentation

Goals and Objectives

• Site control/visibility - controlling and monitoring access to the project (geofencing)

• Jobsite presence/risk mitigation/safety management – understanding who is on the site

• Logging hours worked by employees to analyze if there is a correlation between time on project and

incidents

• Jobsite evacuation or emergency response; notifies the user via the Spot-r wearable sensor (audible alert to

evacuate jobsite) or for locating worker(s).

• Captures real-time data of safety incidents and generates alerts to management teams (slips, falls, etc.);

visibility into potential safety-related trends on jobsite

• Restricted access zones (equipment, roof, areas of buildings etc.) controlling areas that are identified as high

hazard or no go.
