How Jobsite Data Is Reducing Ladder Falls in Construction | Innovation Expo Construction Podcast

Ladder falls remain one of the most serious safety risks in construction, accounting for hundreds of fatalities and tens of thousands of injuries every year. This Innovation Expo conversation with Otto Tech Systems' CEO Ellen Giuntini examines their Smart Ladder System built to reduce those incidents through sensor technology, real-time alerts, and jobsite data.

The discussion covers how the system works. It also addresses worker privacy, early union engagement, and a field pilot that measured behavior change before and after activating alerts.

This episode, hosted by STO Building Group's Chief Innovation Officer Rob Leon, is for construction professionals, safety leaders, subcontractors, and project teams exploring how technology and data can move jobsite safety from reactive reporting toward proactive prevention.
