We dig into fire drills that took 45 minutes (and why), integrating alerts with detectors/SCADA, onboarding crews in 30–45 minutes, and the business side of selling safety (cold outreach, CRM, and pain-point follow-ups). Perfect for EHS leaders, consultants, and construction pros who need faster, clearer emergency response and better adoption on the ground.
