Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Safety Is the Foundation, People Are the Job: James Chapdelaine on Building Trust from the Floor Up
Q: What challenges have you faced and how did you overcome them?
Expect failure of initial solutions; iterate with floor feedback, adapt practices (e.g., shift from paper checklists to digital systems) and keep learning to improve.
Safety Is the Foundation, People Are the Job: James Chapdelaine on Building Trust from the Floor Up
Q: Can you share an example of how you build trust and buy-in on the floor?
Two-part approach: actively listen to what people raise, even if it's not strictly a safety issue, and then close the loop with transparent communication and follow-through on their feedback.
Safety Is the Foundation, People Are the Job: James Chapdelaine on Building Trust from the Floor Up
Q: What's been your biggest lesson learned along that journey?
The biggest lesson is that safety is about people first—trust, listening, and collaboration drive adoption and lasting change more than any written program alone.
Nothing Is an Anomaly: Pete Susca on Building a Culture of Interconnected Safety
Q: What do you love most about your job and why?
It isn't a job to me; it's a passion and a lifelong pursuit of learning, helping others learn and succeed, and shaping organizations to think and act in ways that elevate safety and business performance together.
Nothing Is an Anomaly: Pete Susca on Building a Culture of Interconnected Safety
Q: What has been your biggest challenge in translating safety into business strategy?
Getting leadership to see safety like profit: framing safety improvements as value drivers and building a bridge between risk management and financial outcomes, including establishing clear relationships and a shared strategic vision across teams.
