Could we all use a little more safety in our lives? As we navigate through the chaos of life, Perry Sylvie, a seasoned veteran of BT Construction and B-Trenchless, joins us to demonstrate how safety measures and inspections are more than just checkboxes on a list - they are crucial lifelines that keep our workspaces humming and our hearts ticking. Perry kicks off his day with a prayer and a verse, a testament to his faith and a gentle reminder to us all to carry a piece of our personal care routines into our daily grind. His 19-year-long love journey with his wife, Stephanie, beautifully underscores the importance of genuine connections and feelings in our lives.
The conversation then pivots to the power of relationships in fostering safety. Perry enlightens us with his insights on building trust with employees and crafting a culture of care that transcends mere compliance. We delve into the intriguing concept of thinking inside the box, a strategic approach aimed at shielding employees and averting the normalization of deviance. Perry's experiences and the questions he poses present a clear view of the ground reality.
We then shift gears to the Trenching and Excavation Safety Task Force, a critical outfit that helps disseminate the safety message to the most vulnerable workers. Perry discusses the upcoming October 4th event featuring OSHA and how such initiatives help reach out to field workers. We discuss strategies to elevate the Safety Task Force with the backing of the National Utility Contractors Association. As Perry shares his journey from the military to becoming a safety professional, we gain insight into how this transition shapes his management style. So, lend your ear to this enriching conversation and learn how workplace safety can foster a culture of care and trust.
