Dust and debris aren't just messy; they're hazardous!
Proper respiratory protection is key on construction sites. Masks aren't just for pandemics, they're essential for lung health.

Safety isn't the No.1 priority of any business.
Production is.
Always has been.
And always will be.
Leadership and effective safety and risk management must support and improve production, not work against it.
Would you agree?

If your safety conversations don’t nudge people to do something differently, they're just noise.

Leadership isn't for everyone, that’s why it is called "leadership.”

Business owners and managers.
Are you getting the safety outcomes you want?
Maybe you're working on the wrong problems.
Perhaps miss the right insight.
Most solutions are hidden deep within how a business operates.
You’ll get better results not by what you need to do but by what to stop doing.

Behavioural talk:
Have you noticed how people are quick to praise someone for doing something good but not so much when they stop doing something bad?
Yet they can be flip sides of the same coin.
