Find out how Body Cameras support construction workers and employers with our expert knowledge.
How do Body-Worn Cameras improve Construction Worker Safety?
Body Cameras are becoming increasingly common in the construction sector due to their wide range of benefits, including but not limited to:
- Improved project oversight as it enables Site Managers to retrospectively review construction activity and working practices.
- Increased safety for the wearer, as the presence of Body Worn cameras immediately deter misconduct.
- Compliance with insurance regulations, as the employer can provide required documentation.
Key operational benefits of WCCTV's Body Cameras mean the device records real-time construction activities, ensuring that any disputes are captured and offenders can be easily identified. Another key feature is that the Smart Charging Hub is fully self-contained, meaning that the Body Cameras can be deployed on-site locations that have no IT facilities.
High-quality footage useful for training
Footage captured by body cameras is extremely useful as it enables Site Managers to review real-life construction activities on their site, identify best practices and areas that need to be improved. By having high-quality footage on-hand employers can train workers on important site health and safety requirements.
Evidence gathering to support investigations
It is estimated that one in ten construction workers are injured on site every year. Body Cameras provide invaluable evidence to support investigations. Whether this is to resolve a dispute with the public, retrospectively view construction activity or to review health and safety procedures due to a workplace accident.
Compliance with insurance requirements
Major insurance companies now require construction workers to wear Body Cameras, as they need high-quality footage and documentation, especially for remediation work. Body Worn Cameras helps to protect both workers and construction employers from any potential legal repercussions.
Efficient incident review
Body Cameras are crucial in keeping a safe construction site for workers. They provide digital evidence so that all incidents can be quickly resolved.
At WCCTV, we recognise the unique challenges that construction workers face and have applied our knowledge and experience to develop robust Body Camera solutions tailored to meet specific requirements.
