Safety practices work best when each crew member is vigilant and conscious about why they are an important member of their company’s team. However, when a lack of esteem, understanding, or comradery wedges itself between the field crew and the safety team, employees are less likely to stay mindful of the policies that keep them safe.

Learn from several BX member companies how they were able to change their internal safety culture to one of respect and trust.
