WHY CURRENT SAFETY FALLS FLAT
The Life Jacket Reality:
Don’t wait until someone is drowning to offer help.
The best gear in the world is useless if the culture doesn’t support using it.
My work is the Life Jacket that prevents going overboard, so you never reach that crisis.
The Flight Attendant Problem:
Do you pay attention to the Flight Attendant presentation. Why?
Unfortunately, that’s what most safety programs have become:
predictable, stale, lacking connection, and easy to tune-out.
The focus has become more about compliance and not connection.
Corporate speaks in FM - apps, posters, HR videos.
The field listens in AM - trust, peer to peer, community
The message isn’t wrong, it’s just disconnected.
I ‘Go First’ to translate the message to help drive connection and shift the culture back to the human engine.
SUICIDE SPELLED BACKWARDS IS EDICIUS.
It looks like a strange word until you realize what it represents: REVERSAL.
Mental health in Construction is no different.
Suicide is the collapse.
Edicius is the rebuild.
Now, I lead with my story to help others find a Way Up, Not Out™
