## The Challenge

### Why Construction Safety Is Harder Than Any Other Industry

#### Mobile Workforce, Inconsistent Documentation

Crews spread across jobsites. Foremen manage safety with clipboards and paper JSAs, hoping workers fill out reports back at the trailer.

**Real Impact**  
Incomplete documentation means you can't defend claims, prove compliance during OSHA inspections, or identify patterns before injuries happen.

#### Highest Workers' Comp in Any Industry

At $254/month per employee, construction has the highest workers' comp rates. Every incident drives your EMR higher and premiums through the roof.

**Real Impact**  
A single recordable injury can cost $50,000+ in direct costs, plus increased premiums for years.

#### Complex, Multi-Layered Compliance

Juggling OSHA 1926 standards, state-specific regulations, GC requirements, and client-specific safety programs. Every project has different paperwork.

**Real Impact**  
OSHA violations in construction average $15,000+ per citation. Serious violations can shut down your jobsite.

#### Subcontractor Management Nightmare

You're responsible for sub safety, but can't be on every site watching every crew. How do you ensure subs follow your program and document properly?

**Real Impact**  
Sub incidents affect YOUR EMR and insurance rates, even if you didn't employ the injured worker.

### Incident & Hazard Reporting

**Challenge**  
Foremen won't fill out 20-field incident reports on paper or tiny phone screens. Reports arrive days late, incomplete, and hard to read.

**SoterAI Solution**  
Snap a photo of the hazard, speak what you see. AI generates a complete report with hazard type, location, severity, corrective actions, and OSHA citations.
