Twiceme Survey: 60 % of Contractors Lack Access to Workplace Digital Safety Systems
A new survey from Twiceme Technology, a Swedish safety solutions innovator, highlights a significant gap in the adoption of digital safety systems within the construction industry.
While 79 % of safety managers use digital tools to track safety information and personal protective equipment( PPE) health, only 40 % of contractors report having access to this vital data, according to the 2024 Construction Safety Survey of 500 contractors and 390 safety managers.
Digital safety technologies, such as those embedded in PPE, are becoming increasingly important in construction, a sector that has traditionally lagged behind industries like outdoor sports in adopting such systems.
These tools can enhance workplace safety by providing immediate access to information on equipment health, certifications and emergency data. Faster access to this information can be critical in reducing response times during onsite accidents.
