This document summarizes several innovative safety technologies of potential interest to a construction safety association. It describes apps that can validate safety certifications, track training, and log time and attendance using RFID chips in ID cards. It also outlines apps for inspecting lifting equipment and providing inductions and training. Additional technologies discussed include fast alcohol testing, cable management solutions, revolutionary fall protection harnesses, portable LED lighting, and the idea of establishing a network to share good safety practices and innovations.
