Building a Case for Safety and Security in Construction Through Digital and 5G

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, construction workers sustained more than 200,000 injuries in 2019, and more than 1,000 of them were fatal. Beyond physical security, small and medium-sized construction companies are also worried about securing networks, systems, and technologies as they invest in digital transformation. A safe and secure construction company starts with rapid, reliable, and robust connectivity. This paper, the third in a four-part series, explains the connection between reliable connectivity and security among construction businesses. These safety, security, and personnel injury issues can lead to delayed projects, extended deadlines, and hefty additional costs. However, when organizations invest in digital transformation that enables better visibility, communication, an decision support, these mishaps can be avoided.
