Industry Safety and Hygiene News Magazine

The essential workplace safety source, Industry Safety & Hygiene News (ISHN), took a look at GPRS’ industry emphasis on how to protect yourself from silicosis on a jobsite. Topics included the millions of constructions workers who have already been exposed to silica in the workforce, the morbid effects of respirable crystalline silica (RCS) if not avoided, and the opportunity to prevent silicosis altogether through proper precautions put into place when working with or around concrete. Concrete Sawing and Drilling Safety Week discusses this topic and many more in depth, allowing each attendee to develop a personal safety plan when cutting, coring or drilling through concrete to further mitigate the risks posed by RCS. The timely discussion on safety protocols resonates with ISHN's drive to keep the workforce informed on crucial safety news and strategies, thus playing a crucial role in safeguarding industry personnel.

Risk Management: Brick by Brick - Trust Layer Podcast

‍

‍

Finally, the Risk Management Brick by Brick by Trust Layer podcast became a platform for GPRS President and CEO, Matt Aston to discuss the emerging risks in construction and how modern technology such as SiteMap^® can help mitigate them. Our origin story is briefly shared, and our abilities to help Risk Managers from all around the country within the construction industry mitigate damages on job sites is discussed. The shift in our customers’ approach to subsurface damage prevention in the past 20 years has been progressive. Many clients now call us before they dig or excavate, where before, most calls came in after damages had already occurred on site.

This shift to a proactive mindset, has led to a decrease in damages, an increase in job site safety, and a greater relational impact to the construction industry due to the various services we provide. This episode displays how pivotal risk mitigation is to our clients to protect their reputation in the field, and the role data collection and distribution within SiteMap^® can help enhance risk mitigation for years to come.  Join, Jason Reichl and Matt Aston as they discuss GPRS’s industry expertise with the podcast's goal of elevating the understanding of risk management technologies in the construction industry by watching the full episode below.
