SCHAUMBURG, Ill., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Everyone goes home safe at night. During National Construction Safety Week, Zurich North America is reinforcing how data and telematics are helping advance that goal. As construction companies face heightened safety risks tied to commercial vehicle operations, Zurich is helping contractors turn real‑time insights into safer driving behaviors, reduced losses and stronger long-term performance.
Anchored in the company's broader commitment to construction safety, Zurich is piloting a construction‑focused video telematics initiative that enables participating customers to securely share fleet vehicle video data with Zurich. Leveraging real-world driving data, the program supports coaching that can contribute to safer fleet operations, more informed underwriting decisions and more targeted risk mitigation, reinforcing prevention as a cornerstone of effective risk management.
Zurich's telematics pilot supports a broader construction risk management strategy that integrates underwriting, claims, data analytics and field‑based risk engineering. Through Zurich Resilience Solutions, Zurich risk engineers apply a forward‑looking, integrated risk perspective—combining connected data, on‑the‑ground risk engineering insights, and targeted behavioral coaching to help customers translate analytics into measurable safety improvements and stronger resilience.
This close alignment between risk engineers and underwriters enables a more comprehensive, end‑to‑end approach to managing complex construction exposures and improving loss performance.
Beyond fleet risks, Zurich offers construction risk solutions aimed at improving jobsite safety and protecting workers. These efforts include technology‑enabled jobsite visibility tools, engineering‑led safety programs and evolving approaches to worker protection, reflecting Zurich's long‑standing focus on prevention, early intervention and partnership.
