Wearing It: Jobsite Technology That’s Improving Worker Safety, Increasing Visibility and Mitigating Risk January 30, 2018
Session Overview • The Technology • The Use of the Technology • What Is It Changing and Improving • Where Is the Industry Heading?
Wearables Sourcing To Solve The Problem Thomas Grandmaison EVP – Energy & Construction Industry Leader AIG
Goal - Identify hazard, Analyze data in real-time – use insights to Change behavior – Modify risk ‘Source to Solve ’
High-Level Wearable Categories Protect against noxious Add security in lone Better enforce safety Vehicle and equipment gases or high temperatures and/or remote worker protocols operation Reduce strains and Bio sensors alert of Allow for 2-way And more … sprains dehydration and more communication and/or alerts for emergencies

Major Technology Companies are Exploring Wearables IBM, Honeywell, and Flextronics are all exploring Industrial Wearables and think the opportunity for Industrial Wearables may be greater than Consumer Wearables. AIG is connecting with all three companies. • May 2017: Honeywell announced • Flex just acquired Olio Devices to accelerate • IBM, Haifa is exploring how Wearables, Sotera™, a new, comprehensive safety their wearable program software platform to support its growing IoT, and Cognitive Computing can • Flex’s Sketch-to-Scale TM platform gives portfolio of connected industrial worker improve worker safety. manufactures an optimal opportunity to solutions • IBM has done several pilots create smarter wearable solutions.
Spot-r by Triax Chad Hollingsworth CEO and Co-founder Triax Technologies
Triax’s Focus Construction safety technology company that specializes in connecting challenging IT environments
Safety Remains a Top Priority – and Challenge According to the BLS, 21.4% of worker fatalities in the private industry in 2015 – 937 of 4,379 – occurred in construction
Factors Affecting Construction Safety Lack of Digitization Changing Labor Force Low Project Margins
A Safer Jobsite Is a More Successful Jobsite Lack of Visibility Lack of Effective Communication
What is Spot-r? Network Spot-r EquipTag Spot-r EvacTag Spot-r Clip Dashboard Data-driven visibility into workforce and equipment location, activity, interaction, and safety – all in real-time
Custom-built reports allow you to view, analyze and share on-going workforce, equipment, and safety data with decision-makers
With our new Project Zone Health Check view get real-time insight and alerts into temperature and humidity levels across your jobsite.
Mitigate Loss Severity Knowing when and where an Real-time, sitewide audible and incident occurs improves visual evacuation notifications via response time and reduces risk Spot-r Clip and EvacTags of compounding injuries Fewer claims lead to lower Key incident safety log MOD ratings and eventually helps combat and deter lower premiums fraudulent claims
Improve Loss Frequency Real-time safety data creates Push-button enables workers to coachable moments to report other injuries or unsafe improve overall safety culture worksite conditions without leaving their post Dashboard allows supervisors to Positive impact and effect monitor evacuation progress downstream on subcontractor and real-time worker condition risk—virtually all lines

Example: Looking for Ways to Improve Control • How do we increase our volume of observations? • How can we enhance the sophistication of our analysis? • How can we respond more quickly to what is happening?
Assessing Progress
Research & Development Suffolk Innovation Strategy Group Experimentation Standard Template: • Outlines Hypotheses • Identifies Resources • Establishes Milestones • Tracks Results
Goals and Objectives • Site control/visibility - controlling and monitoring access to the project (geofencing) • Jobsite presence/risk mitigation/safety management – understanding who is on the site • Logging hours worked by employees to analyze if there is a correlation between time on project and incidents • Jobsite evacuation or emergency response; notifies the user via the Spot-r wearable sensor (audible alert to evacuate jobsite) or for locating worker(s). • Captures real-time data of safety incidents and generates alerts to management teams (slips, falls, etc.); visibility into potential safety-related trends on jobsite • Restricted access zones (equipment, roof, areas of buildings etc.) controlling areas that are identified as high hazard or no go.
