Hard Hats, Soft Culture : The Lie Behind Construction Safety

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
