As constructors we know safety is crucial at all times! But, having team members not follow, or even worse know, safety protocols is just one thing that can cause us stress and anxiety in the workplace. So how can we deal better with this and all the other challenges we face daily - such as having to call the entire team just to make sure jobs get done in a safe manner, or update team members -one by one- that there is a training they need to complete regarding a certain tool, or a new regulation to complete in order to stay safe and compliant?
