Roundtable Discusses Haskell’s Award-Winning Culture of Safety

Reflecting on the fact that Haskell received its fourth Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) National Safety Pinnacle Award in five years in 2024, Chairman, CEO and President Jim O’Leary upped the ante.

“It's an honor to be consistently recognized on an annual basis by ABC for safety. You can talk about safety compliance and safety results, but when it becomes part of your culture and who you are, that's when it becomes special. And that's where we are today as an organization,” O’Leary said.

On Day 4 of Construction Safety Week, the focus was on building and sustaining a strong culture, and Haskell brought that to life with a roundtable discussion of how that happens and what it takes.

Corporate Training Manager Taylor Williams moderated the panel, which featured the diverse perspectives of Corporate Safety SME Chris Bunch, Design Director Tina Sanchez, Operational President for Design & Consulting Frank Mangin and Project Superintendent Bobby Bradley.

During the roundtable, the panel delved into various topics, including evolving priorities in safety, the role of senior leadership in fostering a safe environment, the importance of open communication in a welcoming setting, and how resilience is nurtured through positive reinforcement.
