Safety Week 2023: Thinking of the Next Person

Work Zone Podcast

March 5, 2023

Joe and Cameron sit down to talk about the final topic for Safety Week: Thinking of the Next Person.

Construction sites are dynamic environments, with multiple hazards that can lead to serious injuries or even fatalities. While it’s important to prioritize your own safety on the job, it’s equally important to consider the safety of others who may be working on the site after you. By thinking of the next person, we can help ensure a safer and more productive work environment for everyone involved.

Safety Week 2023: “It Won’t Happen to Me”

Work Zone Podcast

March 3, 2023

Joe and Cameron sit down to talk about Wednesday’s Safety Week topic: “It Won’t Happen to Me.”

Many of us fall into the trap of thinking that bad things only happen to other people, and that we are somehow immune to risks or dangers. This can be especially true when it comes to things like health, safety, or finances.

However, the reality is that none of us are invincible, and bad things can happen to anyone. Joe and Cameron discuss the importance of taking risks seriously and planning for the future. By acknowledging risks and taking preventative measures, we can better protect ourselves and avoid potentially devastating consequences.
