Stories From the Field: Mass Texting: Keeping the Jobsite Safe & Fun
Strong communication is crucial on a jobsite. Keeping everyone in the loop and maintaining a safe, productive, and fun work environment is no easy feat. That's why we built our in-app messaging and communication tool to help keep the entire construction team informed. Read more to learn how our clients are using our tools to keep every worker safe and even have some fun on-site!
Enhancing Safety with Real-Time Alerts
Safety is paramount on any construction site. A big part of ensuring a safe jobsite is keeping people informed. The FCA app allows for instant messaging to all workers and/or a subset of workers to inform them of any possible danger. By way of example, on one of our client sites, the FCA app was used to notify thousands of workers about an approaching storm with lightning detected 18 miles away. This prompt notification, was sent in both English and Spanish, making sure all exterior elevated work was halted until it was safe to resume.
Our messaging tool gives Superintendent and Project Managers the ability to quickly communicate to a diverse workforce, ensuring that language barriers do not compromise safety.
Fostering a Fun and Engaging Work Environment
While safety is critical, creating a positive and fun work environment is also essential for worker moral. FCA’s clients have also used our app to foster team spirit and have some fun. Take, for example, a recent Hawaiian Shirt Friday contest at another client site. The in-app messaging feature was used to announce the winner and encourage everyone to participate, adding a fun element to the workweek.
This feature helps in building a sense of community and making the job site an enjoyable place to be.
More Than Just Messaging
Project messaging is just one of the many features of the FCA platform. From site security and access control technology to labor analytics and reporting, FCA provides a comprehensive solution to manage your job site efficiently.
