Father
Cases of use to deploy artificial intelligence to increase work safety practices took center stage at the annual conference of the Institute of Construction Industry. During the last year, a research team consisting of academics from the Texas A&M University and the Louisiana State University, along with about 20 professionals in the construction industry, identified 19 most important cases for the AI in security protocols and created a tool to combine those that have currently available methods to address them better.
The portable and the generation can be related to predicting and identifying the locals of the most dangerous jobs and establishing a geofenity for alerting traders when they enter a high-risk area, said team vice president, Sarah Wilson, a senior projects director of Procter & Gamble during a presentation at the conference, held on July 29-31 in Nashville.
Rest, such as the high cost of implementing the AI and convincing traders that work cameras and usables will support their work instead of using vigilance, said Yongcheol Lee, a LSU associate professor. But AI can help companies maintain a constant security messaging, provide real -time situational awareness to help decision -making and help predict and reduce risks, said the researcher.
The tool will be available on the CII website in the fall at www.construction-indstitut.org.
Another research team created an available tool that helps to consolidate and to provide guidance over 30 years of the best security implementation practices of the CII. It incorporates more recent safety strategies that best reflect human behavior and performance, employees well -being and promotion of positive reinforcement.
“I have been around for security research for 30 years, but one of the things that surprised me in a good way is the talk of positive traits [in recent case studies]”, Said John Gambatese, a professor at the School of Civil Engineering and the construction of the State University of Oregon. The top quality companies that promote the culture of the positive security program, as well as prevent the negative” obtain a labor that listens, understands and accepts and is ready to follow the trip. “
Researchers also presented a framework to help project teams reduce carbon emissions embodied in capital projects. The resource allows to integrate the decarbonization of existing project metrics, such as security, quality and programming, and identifies strategies that can help reduce project costs along with Encarnated carbon.
Taking the reins
The Institute, based at the University of Texas in Austin, also announced a leadership transition. Mike Pappas will be in charge of executive director on November 1, replacing Jamie Gerbrecht, who led the group for the last three years. Currently, Pappas is the director of project management program at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and had been an associate director of the CII from 2017 to 2021.
