Construction & Engineering
Inspectors and tradespeople alone on active job sites, off-hours.
The US construction sector employs 6.4 million workers; 850,000+ engineers, inspectors, surveyors, and trade contractors routinely perform tasks alone on active sites, off-hours pours, and early infrastructure projects.
The risks your people face
- Falls from height — OSHA “Fatal Four” exposure on scaffolding, ladders, roof openings.
- Struck-by and caught-in-between heavy machinery crush injuries.
- Jobsite trespasser and tool-theft confrontations during evening inspections.
The regulations that apply
OSHA 29 CFR 1926
Construction safety: fall protection, site controls, and emergency notification.
OSHA General Duty Clause
Employer protection against recognized physical hazards on job sites.
ANSI/ASSP A10 standards
Consensus standards requiring audited comms for high-risk personnel.
How The Sentry helps construction & engineering
Enterprise-grade protection on the phones your team already carries — no hardware, live in under an hour.
One-touch panic alarm with live location sent to managers and nominated contacts.
Email-invite onboarding of subcontractors in minutes — no hardware, no IT.
Shift opening/closing check-ins for pre-dawn or late-night walkthroughs.
Multiple responders can respond to the same alarm, each shown live on the in-app map.
Instant incident audit log to defend against EMR hikes and OSHA probes.
The business case
A severe fall can raise a contractor’s EMR, lifting workers’ comp premiums $150k–$400k over three years. Covering 100 field engineers costs ~$5,343/year.
