The HR and Safety Director of Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal, Seth Abraham, stopped by the Building PA Podcast to discuss labor relations and safety. Listen in as Seth discusses his thoughts on workforce development and the value relationships bring to creating a safety culture across five offices and seven states.
Seth shared that at Kalkreuth, the company sees HR and safety as a combination that ties labor together. His challenge is to encourage his team to focus on zero tolerance and incidents while balancing relationships. Seth discussed why relationships are so important in this industry because “you quickly learn who to rely on internally and that is not only in the field but in the office as well.”
