Your Job
Your team is removing solar panels from cardboard cartons on an 8-story high roof. Falling cardboard is a hazard, so each box is flattened, weighted down, and bundled before removal. Two days later, a piece of airborne cardboard nearly hits a pedestrian and damages a parked car.  You are the prime suspect. It’s your word against theirs. To preserve goodwill, you pay the claim.

Your Job on Video
You know it’s not your cardboard and you can prove it. You send the car owner a link to video of your work on the roof. She can see the construction safety procedures that workers are following. In a tight shot you bookmarked, she sees that your cardboard is different from the cardboard that hit her car, and she drops the claim with no further argument.

Enhance Construction Safety and Protect Against Claims on High-risk Operations

Crane lifts, roof work, drilling near post-tension cables and other high risk operations are routine in construction. Safety is paramount.  Custom construction video helps proactively during operations and as an insurance policy after the fact.
 
Enhance construction safety
A videographer on the site causes workers to be extra cautious. This is known as the Hawthorne Effect, after a 1955 study that found that people perform better when they know they are being watched. 
 
Custom construction video of a high risk operation includes:
  • Site conditions prior to the operation
  • Construction safety meetings prior to operation
  • Workers in safety gear
  • Caution tape, cones, barricades, etc.
  • Traffic control processes
  • Operation in progress
  • Site conditions after the operation
Protect against claims
Your construction video archive can also become part of your Health & Safety File. And, if problems occur later, your video will provide ready evidence against negligence. With video on your side, most construction safety claims never make it to court.
