Constructions sites are some of the most hazardous work environments where safety is of the utmost importance. Construction companies must ensure that all safety protocols and regulations are in place to prevent any accidents and guarantee safety for their workers, site visitors, and equipment. The use of technology has helped the construction industry improve safety and an increasingly popular tool to help in this regard are time lapse cameras.

Our time lapse cameras capture a series of still images that can then be compiled into a video allowing you to monitor and document the progress of your construction project. Typically, customers purchase time lapse cameras for just this reason, however there are ways in which our time lapse cameras can improve safety on your construction site. 

Identifying unsafe work practices.

A key benefit of our time lapse cameras are that they allow construction companies to identify and correct unsafe work practices that may not have been detected in real time before. Having the ability to view a time lapse of your construction site allows you to notice if there are individual workers that are not following safety protocols, such as wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), or even if there is an ongoing lack of safety protocol adherence. Our time lapse cameras allow you to analyse these patterns and take the corrective steps in ensuring that safety protocol adherence is a priority for your workers. 

Theft prevention

Thefts happen and construction sites are viewed as easy targets. Time lapse cameras can help to deter equipment theft and vandalism by providing you with the ability to scan through a time lapse video or even access a real time video feed from your camera. Furthermore, if a theft does occur, the footage from your cameras can be used to identify the perpetrator and assist in a police investigation. As the time lapse camera industry improves, cameras can be equipped with infrared sensors which can alert security personnel as to any unauthorised access to the site. 

Training

Time lapse cameras can serve as an excellent training tool for new workers. By reviewing the time lapse videos, new workers can familiarise themselves with the construction site, the safety protocols, and the equipment that is used on the site. The time lapse videos can also be used to allow new workers to identify potential hazards that may be present in the videos and how they may address them. 

Research studies have shown that time lapse cameras are an effective tool for improving safety on construction sites. According to a study conducted by the Construction Industry Institute, time lapse cameras may be able to reduce the number of safety incidents on a construction site by up to 90%. The study also found that cameras can help in identifying environmental safety hazards and equipment defects as well as aid in improving worker behaviours which overall results in a safer work environment. 

Overall time lapse cameras are a valuable tool in improving safety on construction sites. They provide a unique perspective on the construction process and aid us in identifying unsafe work practices and promoting safety-conscious behaviours. By implementing our time lapse cameras, your company can improve and ensure the safety of your workers and assets as well as reduce the risk of theft and vandalism which creates a safer working environment for all your staff.
