Strong voices, safe choices
Building strong teams who work safely is our most important job.
At the center of all the activity and on the frontline, are the craft professionals. They are the eyes and ears on the ground, and are empowered to step in, speak up, and work together to stop anything that exposes a safety risk.
Not all hazards are obvious or easy to recognize even to those who see and face them every day. Craft professionals, management, customers, design professionals, and trade partners—have the obligation to recognize when something isn’t right, to pause, assess, and take charge as a team to stop these hidden dangers before they put us in harm’s way.
We must always be conscious of our surroundings and our actions, and work together to prevent any distractions that may arise from leading to serious consequences. When the plans change, new hazards are identified, or an unforeseen condition occurs, we must always have each other’s backs, and be ready to recognize, listen, and lead our team toward the safest solutions and outcomes.
When there’s trust, respect, and communication, everyone can own and act on safety. That’s how we can break the patterns that lead to accidents and injuries, strengthen our connections, and create more opportunities to improve our safety culture.
