Kaitlin Frank is a former superintendent, multi-generation builder, and now CEO at eMOD Safety Inc. She loves construction and leads her company like a well-managed building project using Sprints (#Scrum). eMOD’s team of experienced commercial construction superintendents, project managers, and safety officers made a dedicated safety solution to efficiently manage, track, and comply with environmental, health, and safety regulations right from their fingertips.

 

Construction workers and management are under increasing pressure to deliver on-time and under-budget, despite facing increasing regulations and hazards. Analog traditional project management processes lead to poor accountability, a lack of foresight, zero visibility, low productivity, and an inability to continuously improve. Kaitlin has done the research and found that 7 out of 10 front-line builders put productivity above safety and cited their work as a priority above their physical well-being. Construction fatalities are greater than even military deaths per year. We owe this and the next generation of construction owners, insurance companies, general contractors, subcontractors, and tradespeople safe projects.
