Shawmut Equips Subcontractors with Technology to Strengthen Safety Network

Chief safety officer Shaun Carvalho from Shawmut Design and Construction 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.

Shawmut have begun a pilot with HammerTech on a $220 million, three-year project that will have hundreds of subcontractors on-site each day.
