Construction consistently ranks as one of America’s most dangerous professions, which is why jobsite safety is every contractor’s top priority. A commitment to safety doesn’t have to conflict with the need for speed to complete projects on time and on budget. Quite the opposite, actually.
EquipmentShare and its T3® technology can help you accomplish both goals by connecting your jobsite.
“Safety isn’t separate from productivity — it drives it,” EquipmentShare Vice President of Product Alyson Yamada Shi said. “When you remove uncertainty from the jobsite, you help protect workers, avoid disruptions and make the entire operation more efficient.”
Here’s how EquipmentShare can help you minimize the possibility of accidents while maximizing efficiency:
Access control
EquipmentShare has long been the industry leader in technology that allows only authorized users to operate equipment. EquipmentShare rentals come with T3 cloud-connected keypads instead of universal keys, meaning only trained operators given the correct PIN code can start the machines.
“Access control is one of the simplest ways to make a jobsite safer,” Yamada Shi said. “When only trained, authorized operators can start a machine, contractors can reduce misuse, improve accountability and keep equipment working where it’s needed.”
Site and dash cams
Keeping workers safe on jobsites and on the road requires visibility into conditions as they unfold. EquipmentShare's AI surveillance camera system is built for that work — an always-on monitoring tool designed for harsh outdoor conditions that uses AI to flag potentially hazardous situations so supervisors can intervene before an incident occurs.
EquipmentShare site cameras are mounted on a solar trailer with a 20-foot adjustable mast, 5G connectivity and up to five days of battery backup for autonomous operation. The cameras deliver clear footage with facial recognition accurate up to 300 feet, and operators can remotely pan, tilt and zoom as conditions change. Built-in safety analytics include real-time PPE detection, work-from-height monitoring and dangerous work zone alerts.
A newer beta feature lets supervisors search footage using natural language — essentially ChatGPT for jobsite video.
“Safety on a jobsite often comes down to whether someone notices a problem in time,” EquipmentShare Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation Ariel Applbaum said. “Our cameras can detect in real time whether workers are wearing hard hats or high-visibility vests and send alerts when they aren’t. What’s really changed things is the natural language search. A supervisor can ask, ‘Show me every instance of a person near the edge of the building,’ and surface those moments immediately. And because we retain footage indefinitely, teams can revisit what actually happened on-site, whether for a claim, an investigation or to understand how to do the job more safely next time."
T3 Dash Cams for vehicles offer clear video of the road and the driver, giving you the tools to improve driver safety, accountability and performance. They deliver real-time visual and audio alerts to drivers and safety managers for dangerous follow distances, collision warnings and more. You can watch the video in real time or view it after the fact in footage uploaded to the cloud.
“Dash Cams can feel intrusive until drivers see how often our footage protects them,” Yamada Shi said. “When an employee isn’t at fault in an accident, that visibility matters. It supports accountability, protects responsible employees, reduces insurance costs and improves safety.”
The Leif advantage
Leif is a real-time risk-management program built exclusively for contractors. Leif's construction specialists partner with you to increase jobsite visibility, lower your EMR and deliver the premium savings you've earned.
"T3 jobsite cameras and Dash Cams are generating actionable, real-time insights — and contractors are seeing a 35% reduction in claims in their first year," Leif Chief Growth Officer Henry Powers said.
PPE, where you need it
EquipmentShare is a one-stop shop for all your jobsite needs, including PPE, tools and consumables. To help your employees consistently use PPE, you need to ensure items like safety glasses, gloves and ear protection are readily available and you have a system of accountability. Particularly on the largest jobsites, this can be a challenge.
EquipmentShare can help by putting PPE within reach with mobile tool trailers and GearHub® vending machines. By scanning a badge or keying in a code, workers can get exactly what they need quickly. You get daily reports that show which items your workers are using.
“If you think about the construction of a data center, you have a tool trailer, but that tool trailer might be parked half a mile from the jobsite,” EquipmentShare Vice President of Site Solutions Grant Reviere said. “Once you get walls up and the building closed in, you can supplement your tool trailer with GearHubs so your employees don’t have to walk a half-mile or get on a UTV to get a pair of gloves or safety glasses. There’s a vending machine at their end of the building where they can get the most commonly used items so they can do their jobs safely.”
