BNBuilders uses building-information modeling to map emergency routes and plan for fall protection, first aid and fire extinguisher stations.

BNBuilders’ safety program uses high-tech elements such as clicksafety.com, which the company uses to provide online training to workers and subcontractors. All BNB managers, including its owners, have completed OSHA 30- or 10-hour classes, and subs are required to take the same training on clicksafety.com.

On some projects BNB implemented an online safety audit using a Vela Systems iPad application to keep all the project records on the job site. The software records the safety inspection and notifies each sub of any violation.

AGC Safety Team member BNB uses building-information modeling to map emergency routes and plan for fall protection, first aid and fire extinguisher stations. BNB also uses a HookCam — a camera installed above a tower crane hook — to give the crane operator a clear view of the load and rigging.
