Safety and site managers communicate site updates, safety
procedures, and emergency alerts – gaining "time on tools" worth
$300k-$600k per year.
WASHINGTON, June 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Eyrus today announced a
milestone: over one million safety text messages sent from their
worksite intelligence and communication platform in a month. On
construction sites across the US, safety teams use Eyrus to text
workers with site updates, safety procedures, and emergency alerts.
Worker communication is part of Eyrus's Worksite Intelligence
Platform – a comprehensive technology solution for general
contractors to manage their on-site workforce, proactively monitor
and communicate worksite risks, and secure their worksites.
"We built worker communication into Eyrus when our customers,
general contractors, came to us with a problem: they did not have a
way to easily communicate with all workers on a construction site.
They had to play phone tag with subcontractors and field managers
to deliver messages. With this milestone, we are excited we've
enabled site management and safety teams with a way to instantly
reach all workers," said Alexandra
McManus, CEO of Eyrus.
The ROI for construction text messaging is significant. For
example, an Eyrus project site with 500+ daily workers will send
50-100 messages per year to alert the workforce of site conditions
that require a stoppage of work. When the site is ready to resume
work, instant communication removes an average delay of 15-30
minutes. A 15-30 minute "time on tools" increase across 50 events
on site results in an annual savings of $300-600K (assuming
a burdened labor rate of $50 per
hour).
The major reason that general contractors had been unable to
communicate with workers is a lack of worker contact info. However,
the emergence of worker registration and onboarding technology,
such as Eyrus, gives GCs a centralized worker database that enables
tools such as worker communication, automated timesheets and
headcounts, construction access control, and more – all working
from one software platform.
Real examples of safety text messages (anonymized for security
purposes):
Real-time site conditions alert:
Text to ON-SITE (610) WORKERS:
"ATTENTION WINDY CONDITIONS GUST UP TO 30 / 40 MPH TODAY BOOM
LIFTS, CRANE OPERATIONS, ROOF WORK AND ANY LIFTING NEEDS TO BE
STOPPED IMMEDIATELY"
Text to ON-SITE (610) WORKERS:
"All clear, you can return to work."
Safety procedure communication:
Text to ALL REGISTERED WORKERS (513):
"Mandatory safety standdown beginning at 1PM EST today. Meet at muster areas for site
updates and safety notes."
