Track Overview
Home safe, every day. The ultimate goal that we all strive to achieve. The scariest words any manager can hear are, “we’ve always done it this way”.
The AEC 2023 Safety Track looks at leveraging technology and automation, to assist our workers in doing their jobs and taking them out of the potential line of fire. We can’t hurt someone if we don’t put them in the area of the hazard. The sessions will deliver tremendous insights that can be applied throughout your own organization allowing you to get one step closer to the ultimate goal – sending everyone home SAFE at the end of the day.
