Advancing Construction Safety Through Technology: NSC Safety Congress & Expo 

The Weitz Company’s Regional Safety Manager, Nick Anderson, along with co-panelists, Grace Herrera with MindForge and Taylor Murray with Danella, had the opportunity to speak at the National Safety Council (NSC) Safety Congress & Expo, one of the world’s largest gatherings dedicated to workplace health and safety. They shared how innovative tools like MindForge are helping transform how we approach safety on the jobsite. 

Real-Time Equals Real Safety 

One key takeaway from Nick’s remarks emphasized the importance of real-time communication. Delayed information can create unnecessary risks, whereas instant updates and visibility allow teams to prevent issues before they escalate. MindForge bridges that gap by making sure critical safety information is available the moment it’s needed. 

Translate, Notify, Respond Instantly 

With diverse jobsites, communication barriers can impact safety. By leveraging technology that can translate, notify, and track responses instantly, we can ensure every worker, regardless of language, receives the same clear, timely safety information. 

Empowering the Frontline, Not Just Management 

Nick emphasized that real change comes when technology empowers the frontline workforce, not just management. Tools like MindForge give every team member the ability to understand risks, respond effectively, and take ownership of safety in real time. 

Moving Forward 

The NSC Safety Congress & Expo served as a reminder of how critical innovation is in building safer jobsites. At Weitz, we remain committed to adopting tools and strategies that protect our people, empower our teams, and strengthen our culture of safety.
