The Benefits of Incorporating Smart Helmets Into Your Safety Plan

The construction industry is constantly evolving—new technologies and materials are adopted all the time. Over recent years, smart helmets have started to enter the equipment scene as a new option to improve safety measures and reduce the amount of head injuries and health hazards occurring in the field. Companies are evaluating the benefits of smart helmets and incorporating them across their organizations are already reaping positive impacts among employees and in the field.

Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud

While bold and assertive leadership styles remain valuable for fostering collaboration and team engagement, the leadership landscape is broadening to recognize the equally valuable contributions of “silent leadership.” These leaders, known for their strategic thinking and focus on results, offer a complementary approach that is proving highly effective in achieving business goals.

CSI: Construction Scene Investigators

Call it a guilty pleasure, but I have always been a fan of shows like “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” (pick your city) and “Castle.” The show begins with a victim being found by some unsuspecting character, and as the story evolves, the cast picks up various clues that lead them to a dramatic television conclusion. Of course, during the episode, there are several twists and turns leading the investigators down rabbit trails, sometimes directing them to the wrong suspect. After an hour of superior forensics (and television magic), we find out the butler did it.
