Safety Culture Means Giving Away Your Power with Robert Hudson

Episode notes

Workplace safety leadership and roofing company safety cultures thrive when leaders stop trying to be the hero. This week on the Canary Report, I am joined by Robert Hudson of Baker Roofing to dive into EHS risk management and construction safety for a major regional power. Robert oversees more than 1,150 employees and explains why building proprietary training programs is his secret to maintaining a tenured team. We talk about fleet safety and why the highway remains the most dangerous place for your workers. Robert also opens up about his personal health transformation and his passion for cooking for others. I found his perspective on delegation refreshing because it proves that a leader’s greatest impact comes from empowering the next generation to do the job better than they did. What you’ll learn: How an unconventional background in chemistry and Spanish can lead to a career in EHS risk management. The reason why you should never outsource your core construction safety curriculum to external vendors. Why treating fleet safety as a secondary concern is the biggest mistake a leader can make.
