SafeGuard will now operate under the name and brand Otoos, A Safeguard AI Company. By digitizing construction site data, Otoos’ technology solutions flags hazardous patterns and prevents on-site accidents with significant results. Construction companies that utilized Otoos reported a marked decrease in on-site accidents, with some noting a 65% drop post-implementation. 

“In many ways, our success has made us a new company,” said Yaron Goldman, general manager of Otoos, “but our core commitment to reducing job site injury and death remains our single priority.” 

Over the last six years, more than 100 firms have trusted Otoos. Otoos enabled these firms to monitor, measure and analyze in “real” time all the aspects of safety on construction sites. In 2020, Otoos was recognized for its contribution to the industry and was named one of the world’s top five construction innovation companies by Built World.
