B Side
New risks and prevention
on construction sites |
|
Just like good old vinyl records, our newsletters now have two sides: the A-Side (please rewind!) provides original articles revolving around an issue that is changing the way we design, build and operate cities and infrastructure, while the B-Side provides suggestions for reading.
Preventing accidents at work is a major concern for all those involved in the building and public works sector. Many innovations are attempting to meet these challenges, relying in particular on advances in robotics, modelling and connectivity. In the face of climate change, among other things, new risks are emerging. Here is an overview. |

When construction and health combine
|
|
By the nature of the construction trades, workers in the sector are among the most physically exposed. Construction companies are trying hard to reduce risk on construction sites, resulting in an almost steady decline in the rate of incidents over the past 20 years. We’re gaining more knowledge on new types of dangers, stimulating in turn a growth in research and innovation. |
