As we celebrate Construction Safety Week 2025 (May 5–9), it’s a great moment to reflect on how far we’ve come—and how much more we can achieve together. Safety is at the heart of construction. Thanks to stronger collaboration, better training, and smarter technology, we’re building jobsites that are safer, more connected, and more resilient every day.
Every year, Construction Safety Week invites the industry to pause and reflect on what it means to protect our people. While the event serves as a timely reminder, it’s also true that safety is a mindset that needs to be practiced every day, on every job site.
At Quickbase, we believe technology can help make that happen. When teams are connected and equipped with tools that fit the way they work, safety becomes more proactive, less reactive—and a lot easier to manage.
Let’s explore how the construction industry is using technology to take safety to the next level.
Why Construction Safety Still Deserves Our Full Attention
There’s no doubt that construction safety has come a long way. New safety standards, safety cultures, better training, and growing awareness have contributed to a culture where safety is increasingly prioritized.
At the same time, challenges persist. Despite these improvements, construction remains one of the most challenging sectors for workplace safety. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the industry recorded 1,075 fatal work injuries in 2023, with falls, slips, and transportation incidents continuing to be the leading causes.
Each number represents a person—and a reminder of why safety remains non-negotiable.
However, there is good news! Across the industry, leaders are finding new ways to prioritize safety through innovation, collaboration, and smarter technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI). Every year, Construction Safety Week brings new energy to these efforts—and 2025 is no exception.
How Technology Is Reshaping Construction Safety in 2025
For many construction teams, safety processes still rely on outdated tools—paper forms, spreadsheets, siloed communication, and reactive workflows. These create delays, reduce accountability, and increase risk.
That’s why more companies are shifting to modern, mobile-first safety solutions. With the right technology, your teams can:
- Capture incidents or near-misses in real time
- Complete digital audits without delays
- Manage high-risk work through structured permit workflows
- Centralize safety data for better visibility and compliance tracking
These tools don’t just save time—they help teams stay aligned, reduce risk, and build a stronger safety culture across every site.
At Quickbase, we’ve built flexible apps that help construction companies do exactly that. Whether you’re tracking OSHA compliance or issuing digital permits, our construction safety software is designed to meet the needs of fast-paced field teams—without adding unnecessary complexity.
Leverage Quickbase for Smarter Safety Management
Here’s a closer look at how our tools help make your safety workflows smoother, more consistent, and more effective across the board.
OSHA Recordkeeping & Incident Reporting
Keeping up with OSHA documentation can be overwhelming, especially when you're juggling multiple sites. With Quickbase, teams can log incidents the moment they happen—right from their phone or tablet. The OSHA Recordkeeping & Incident Reporting app auto-generates OSHA 300, 301, and 300A forms, ensuring everything stays organized, searchable, and ready for audits.
This means no more hunting down paper logs or risking missed deadlines. It’s all at your fingertips, in real time.
Site Safety Audits
Safety audits are critical, but they’re often delayed due to paperwork or scheduling issues. Quickbase’s Site Safety Audits app simplifies the process with digital checklists that can be tailored to your jobsite needs. Supervisors can complete inspections on mobile devices, flag hazards immediately, and assign follow-up actions without ever leaving the field.
With a clear, time-stamped history of audits, your team stays ahead of potential risks—and audit fatigue becomes outdated.
Permit to Work
High-risk jobs demand strict oversight. Paper-based permit processes, however, often create confusion, missed steps, or delays. The Permit to Work app replaces that friction with a clean, digital workflow. Crews can request permits, get approvals, and log start/stop times in one place. Safety managers gain clear visibility into who approved what (and when) reducing unauthorized work and protecting everyone on site.
The Advantage of Real-Time Reporting
One of the most powerful advantages of safety technology is speed. When a worker can report a hazard the moment it’s spotted, safety leaders can act immediately. With mobile-friendly platforms, field teams no longer have to wait on forms or approvals—they can report in real time.
That speed leads to faster investigations, clearer accountability, and fewer repeat issues. It builds trust and strengthens a safety culture where everyone feels empowered to act.
Visibility Changes Everything
Good safety isn’t about reacting to incidents. It’s about preventing them. That requires data—clean, consistent, and centralized.
Quickbase’s Project Hub Pro App gives construction teams full visibility across incidents, audits, corrective actions, and permits. With everything in one place, you can see what’s working, what needs improvement, and where to focus your efforts next.
The result? More informed decisions, stronger compliance, and fewer surprises.
A Real-World Example: Consigli’s Digital Safety Approach
For companies managing large, complex projects, the stakes are even higher. That’s why Consigli Construction, a leading national contractor, turned to Quickbase to modernize their safety program.
Consigli used our platform to digitize safety reports, improve communication between the field and office, and gain real-time insight into jobsite risks. Their teams now respond faster to hazards, close the loop on corrective actions, and have reduced the time it takes to escalate and resolve issues.
So, it’s a clear example of how the right technology can make safety smarter, more agile, and more scalable.
Safety Starts with the Plan
Construction Safety Week 2025 reminds us that safety starts with a plan—one that considers every task, timeline, risk, and person involved. High-performing teams don’t just react to safety issues—they plan ahead, communicate clearly, and execute with intention.
But even the best plans must evolve. When conditions change, it’s essential that teams can adapt quickly and stay aligned. Quickbase gives construction teams the flexibility to revise safety workflows, notify the right people, and move forward without missing a step.
When everyone understands the plan and owns their part, safety becomes a shared responsibility—and a daily habit.
Let’s Build Safer, Smarter, Together
The message behind Construction Safety Week is clear: “All in Together” means everyone has a role to play.
Whether you’re swinging a hammer, running a pre-task plan, or reviewing reports in the office—you’re part of the safety culture. And when your processes are connected, clear, and collaborative, everyone benefits. And, if you’re ready to take your safety program to the next level, it starts with the right tools. Tools that simplify compliance, improve visibility, and help your teams make better decisions—faster.
At Quickbase, we’re here to help make that commitment easier to uphold—by giving your teams an AI-powered operations platform that’s fast, flexible, and connected. So, you can track, report, and respond to safety risks in real time.
