Most construction companies talk a big game about safety. PPE, compliance forms, toolbox talks—but why do crews still cut corners?

In this episode, Adam and Jeff tackle the uncomfortable truth: safety programs don’t create safety culture—leadership does. They share raw stories from the field, call out lazy thinking, and unpack why most “compliance-first” approaches are doomed to fail.

If you’re a GC, superintendent, or project manager trying to keep your people safe without being a babysitter—this one’s for you.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why most workers don’t care about your EMR
• The difference between compliance and care
• How top-down safety cultures actually get built
• What to say when your crew shrugs off protocols
• The ONE question every leader should be asking their teams
