Innovated Safety Inspection System on Construction Site Based on Mobile Phone Application

Safety inspection on construction site is an important method to prevent hazards around the site and unsafe behaviors of the workers. The traditional safety inspection system has several drawbacks. This paper developed an innovated safety inspection system on construction site based on mobile phone application. The new safety inspection system can greatly reduce the demand of experienced safety inspectors on construction site and integrate the safety inspection work of multi-projects at the company level, which increase the value of labor power of experienced safety manager. The composite incremental cost of the safety inspection system can be negative, considering both the instrument and human cost. Meanwhile, the new safety inspection system can reserve the detail of safety inspection for the safety management department of construction companies to make targeted management decisions.
