What separates inspection programs that truly prevent serious injuries from those that simply generate paperwork?
In this episode of Beyond Prequalification, Highwire’s Chief Safety Officer, David Tibbetts, is joined by Caitlin Bergin of BSI and Corey Silverman of Highwire to explore how organizations can turn their safety inspection programs into one of the most powerful leading indicators in their safety management system.
They discuss why inspection volume doesn’t equal inspection quality, how misaligned goals and low-risk “easy” findings dilute impact, and why leadership engagement is essential to driving meaningful improvement. The conversation also highlights practical applications of AI in the field and how these tools can reduce friction, improve data quality, and help teams focus on high-risk activities.
Whether you’re an asset owner, general contractor, or trade partner, this episode offers practical guidance on using inspection data to strengthen partnerships, surface emerging risk, and drive continuous safety improvement.
