Dennis hosts a roundtable with Max Gowdy, Tad Powell, P.E. and Eric Haenlein, P.E. to explore what it really takes to build a strong safety culture. The panelists share stories from their diverse backgrounds—engineering, construction, and management—and discuss themes like peer accountability, leadership by example, and creating psychological safety for workers to speak up. From trench safety to team trust, they reflect on the evolution of industry standards and how repetition, communication, and ownership drive safety success.
