*Chief safety officer Shaun Carvalho from [Shawmut Design and Construction](https://www.shawmut.com/) contributed his insights to Construction Tech Review on how to make jobsites more safe and efficient through technology that drives subcontractor buy-in, engagement, and satisfaction.*

Safety programs and technology are only as strong as the network of people who use them. Construction management firms establish, model and enforce safety expectations for a jobsite but it’s the subcontractors whose actions and work habits determine the actual safety of the site.

With this in mind, a pointed focus when researching, vetting, and piloting safety technology should be on the buy-in, engagement, and satisfaction of subcontractors.

Shawmut have begun a pilot with HammerTech on a $220 million, three-year project that will have hundreds of subcontractors on-site each day. By tracking certificates, orientation, safety trainings and events, and pre-task planning meetings digitally through the HammerTech platform, we’re anticipating hours of time savings daily by our team as well as our forepersons.
