For construction companies, Procore is undeniably one of the most valuable tools available. With capabilities spanning preconstruction work, project management, workforce coordination, and financial oversight, many professionals rely on Procore as an all-in-one platform for managing jobsites. This includes processes related to safety, such as checking compliance to safety protocols, conducting audits, and tracking incidents.
But here’s the hard truth: Procore alone is not enough to fully ensure jobsite safety.
While it offers foundational safety features, its limitations are holding construction companies back from providing safer working environments. Without the integration of advanced tools, such as AI, safety processes remain prone to inefficiencies and risks.
This blog will explore:
Where Procore falls short in critical areas and how that impacts safety. How augmenting it with AI-powered solutions can overcome these challenges to provide a safer, more efficient work environment. Let's dive in!
What Procore Offers for Jobsite Safety Procore provides several features to support safety protocols. These include:
Safety Checklists These checklists make it easy to conduct daily jobsite safety inspections, helping teams ensure compliance with industry standards and maintain a safe working environment.
Incident Tracking and Reporting If incidents occur onsite, workers can log, report, and review them on Procore, ensuring accurate documentation and streamlined communication for improved safety and accountability.
Observations and Inspections To keep track of sudden and important infractions in safety, workers can make Observations within Procore, assign them to someone, and set a due date. This helps team members identify, assess, and document potential safety risks in their environment.
Document Management Procore provides centralized access to critical documents, such as SDS (Safety Data Sheets), safety policies, and training materials.
Typically, these features are used by:
Safety Managers overseeing compliance and establish safety protocols. Project Superintendents responsible for ensuring daily onsite safety protocols. Field Workers using Procore’s mobile app to access safety checklists and record observations.Where Procore Falls Short While the above features are practical, here's the overall problem with them: they involve a significant amount of manual input without useful ways to automate that work.
Below are the key gaps in Procore's functionality:
1. Manual Process Bottlenecks Procore workflows often rely on human intervention, which can slow down operations and introduce errors:
Workers must manually search for safety protocols within PDF libraries or folders, wasting valuable time. Incident tracking and observations require manual entry, creating room for inconsistencies. Compliance audits across multiple documents and policies are labor-intensive and prone to oversight. 2. No Real-Time AI Workflow Automation Procore doesn't currently offer tools for complex AI automation. That makes it difficult to automate and optimize more complex tasks.
For example, Procore doesn't have the capabilities to flag and update outdated safety documentation automatically on its own. For construction companies with elaborate documentation processes, this is a significant gap that increases the risk of non-compliance.
3. Integration Limitations Construction companies typically use a large stack of software tools to support their processes. In other words, not all the safety work you do is just in Procore. Without seamless integration between Procore and those tools, your teams must manually move between systems, resulting in inefficiency and delays.
The Solution? Combine Procore with AI for Safety Automation Addressing Procore’s limitations is simple: augment its capabilities with AI-powered automation tools like Symphona . These tools bring advanced automation, intelligent AI, and open integration to your safety workflows, bolstering Procore’s functionality and optimizing your safety operations.
