“Safety’s all about doing the right thing. Whether owning a business, managing a company, or running a crew, we have a moral obligation for the safety and well being of the people who work with us. The cultures of many successful companies are based on up-front expectations for performance, training, communication, followup, accountability, setting the example, and trust. These principles of culture building are not unique to any one specific industry, but are germane across them all. They hold true for the companies I have worked for and with. Safety is a prerequisite of a solid workplace culture.”
