Today's Construction Genius Podcast is with David F. Tibbetts, CSP, Chief Safety Officer at Highwire, a certified safety professional with more than 20 years of occupational safety experience in both general industry and construction settings. He joins me today to talk about the importance of a proactive safety culture, beyond mere compliance, focusing on both leading and lagging indicators. Here are some key insights we uncovered: 🔹 Owner Relationships - If you're working with an involved owner, take advantage of that opportunity to foster a collaborative environment. 🔹 Safety Culture - Don't overlook the need for strong leadership and management systems that enable the execution of safety programs. 🔹 Inspection Programm - Implement a robust inspection program and track the data consistently. 🔹 Safety-Consious Workplace - Ensure your inspection program is seen as a tool for growth and improvement, not just as a way to point out mistakes. 🔹 Leveraging Inspection Data - When reviewing inspection data, look for patterns that suggest your program might be missing unsafe behaviors or high-risk activities. 🔹 Prequalification - Approach prequalification with a mindset of collaboration rather than elimination. To learn more about how to build a robust safety culture, listen to our full discussion on the Construction Genius Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or Google Podcasts. #ConstructionGeniusPodcast #ConstructionPodcasts #constructionsafety #Construction #Leadership
