Projects
iSafe – An Innovative Safety Field Inspection System
Occupational safety is an important issue in construction. Although technology innovations are benefiting the different areas of construction, safety, still being challenged by fatalities in the industry, has not fully taken advantage of these innovations. Besides, safety audit data collected by contractors internally have mostly been used for meeting discussions only and not been further utilized for active learning. Additionally, the paper-based audit method is not well structured and often leads to repeated efforts and inconsistency among the data records. In this research, we proposed a safety audit system, iSafe, to facilitate the safety audit process on site and to collect high-quality data records for violation pattern analysis. The system went through three stages of design and development with the participation of safety subject experts from the greater Seattle area. An iPad 2 based prototype system was developed for field use and evaluation. A questionnaire survey was administered for the initial assessment of iSafe and the system is currently undergoing a three month field evaluation phase with the participation of three general contractors. The design and development of the system has been previously reported and the paper will limit its discussion to the strategies used during prototype deployment.
