PCL Construction and HammerTech team up to enhance workplace safety

PCL Construction has taken a significant step towards improving job site safety by partnering with HammerTech, a leading safety software provider. The multi-year agreement aims to leverage HammerTech’s cutting-edge platform to reduce risks, improve compliance, and achieve zero incidents across PCL’s construction projects. This collaboration exemplifies PCL’s ongoing commitment to prioritizing worker safety and embracing digital solutions to enhance project outcomes.

HammerTech’s safety management platform is well-regarded for its comprehensive features, including real-time incident reporting, streamlined safety inspections, and enhanced compliance tracking. By integrating this technology across its operations, PCL aims to create safer work environments where potential hazards are identified and addressed swiftly. “Safety is a guiding principle that shapes every decision we make at PCL,” said Jim Barry, Vice President of Health, Safety and Environment at PCL. “HammerTech will arm our teams with the technology they need to streamline administration, collaborate more easily with our trade partners and propel us towards our pursuit of a ‘Zero-Incidents’ future.”

The platform’s data-driven approach will enable PCL to make informed safety decisions, minimize risks, and promote a proactive safety culture. “HammerTech will allow us to gather more sophisticated data around our safety programs,” confirmed Chief Information Officer of PCL, Mark Bryant. “Robust data helps inform decision-making, improve process and ultimately creates a safer workplace for everyone on our job sites.”

PCL’s decision to collaborate with HammerTech aligns with the company’s broader goal of embedding technology into every aspect of its construction process. With HammerTech, PCL’s safety teams can access crucial insights and analytics that help anticipate and mitigate risks before they result in accidents. This forward-thinking approach to safety is expected to protect workers, optimize project timelines, and reduce costs associated with workplace incidents.
