S3E23: A Safety Culture Turnaround – From Safety 3rd to Safety 1st with Jeffrey Ehret

In today’s successful construction projects, establishing a strong safety culture is paramount. Jeff Ehret, Chairman of the PENTA Building Group, joins our host, Sue Steele, in a discussion about the evolution of safety culture within the construction realm over the past 25 years. Ehret explains how earlier projects typically emphasized schedule and minimizing cost, placing safety as a third objective. To conclude, Ehret provides strategies for creating and upholding a “Safety First” culture in the workplace.
