______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Scheduling
investing in new ConTech that allows them to rethink the processes needed to manage an increasingly complex workflow of contractors , subcontractors , engineers , inspectors , and more , R & H has tackled a daunting task that many construction companies have yet to approach . This differs from many other contractors who still take an extremely lowtech approach to the problem , relying on overly simplistic , paper-based management processes despite major tech advances .
By taking a higher-tech approach to scheduling , R & H now has the technology in place to more effectively collaborate with the Environmental Health & Safety department to tag , identify , and break down the highhazard activities on the site to determine the right level of support needed . This allows the construction team to properly staff and prepare for potential safety issues , including fall protection , and prioritize the safety of their workers . ■
