Safety awareness solutions for the construction industry
Site and office solutions for safety awareness
Knowing where to focus can make a difference in safety. Streamline risk mitigation strategies and create a safer, more productive worksite.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of the heavy construction industry, it's the people who truly make the difference. As an occupational health and safety manager, you understand the immense value of experience and established protocols—especially when every project comes with its own set of unique challenges, hazards, regulatory requirements, and potential risks. On construction sites, safety is paramount, and establishing a safety-first culture is the key to success.
Relying solely on traditional safety measures can be challenging. The construction industry no longer has to choose between safety and efficiency. Advanced technologies, like human form recognition, real-time proximity detection, wearables, geofencing, underground utility detection, and machinery height, slew and overload control, are transforming how companies approach risk management. These solutions don’t just reduce accidents; they help you save lives, cut costs, and keep projects on track.
Sharper insights. Safer outcomes
Leica Xsight360 is an advanced, AI-powered safety awareness solution specifically designed for heavy construction environments. With up to 360° of coverage, it enables real-time risk assessment through form recognition of humans, vehicles, and cones. Our cloud platform empowers Health and Safety teams to swiftly analyse incidents, identify high-risk areas, conduct compliance audits and create reports and recommendations from an AI chatbot featuring industry-leading models and processing.
With everyone concentrated on their tasks, noise, stress, and fatigue can diminish an individual's awareness of their surroundings. Just a moment's lapse is enough for accidents to occur. Leica Geosystems offers proven solutions like wearables and collision avoidance systems to increase pedestrian worker and machine operator safety awareness, reduce risks, improve efficiency, and keep your people safe.
Use automation to prevent collisions
Our 3D avoidance zone solution, developed in partnership with Xwatch, automates excavator hydraulic functions to avoid areas like environmental sites, power cables, underground utilities, and pedestrian zones. This integration enhances safety for workers and pedestrians while protecting critical infrastructure. The Xwatch system applies proportional control, gradually slowing machine movement before a full stop, giving operators time to react and maintain control. Together, this solution helps eliminate penalties, delays, and investigations related to infrastructure damage.
Traditional safety reporting often relies on manual logs, delayed incident reports, or unreported near misses, leaving OHS managers with incomplete data and limited visibility into worksite risks. Cloud-based analytics change that by automating event documentation, capturing every incident, near-miss, and system alert in real-time. The Leica ConX Safety Awareness cloud solution offers geo-tagged insights, recording location, time, machine type, and alert details, giving safety teams a comprehensive view of potential hazards. With this data, companies can move from reactive safety measures to a proactive risk management approach that improves worksite safety and efficiency.
Achieve safer machinery operation
Xatch, part of Hexagon, provides advanced safety solutions designed to enhance machine operation and operator safety across construction and industrial environments. With a deep understanding of the demands of modern job sites, Xwatch has developed solutions that incorporate features such as height and slew control and overload protection, ensuring safe operation within defined parameters. Enhanced motion control, dig depth monitoring, and creep control enable operators to work with greater accuracy and efficiency, minimising the risk of errors and equipment damage. Integrated telematics offer real-time data insights and remote monitoring capabilities, empowering fleet managers to optimise performance, maintain compliance, and improve safety outcomes across job sites.
Localising underground assets becomes a simple and efficient task with Leica Geosystems’ detection portfolio. Increasing the safety of crews on-site and assuring protection of buried utilities, ultimately minimising health and safety risks, unplanned costs, and downtime.
