You may be good, but you can always be better. That’s the approach Coca-Cola Consolidated has taken toward workplace safety. The publicly traded bottling company started a new safety campaign in 2024, the First 100 Days of Safety. It was so successful that Coca-Cola Consolidated expanded to three safety campaigns in 2025 and has no signs of slowing down. Dennis Padgett, senior director of risk control at Coca-Cola Consolidated, discusses what’s worked and what’s next with EHS Today’s Managing Editor Nicole Stempak. Padgett will be speaking at Safety Leadership Conference 2025, being held from October 20-22 in Pheonix, Arizona.
