Episode Details

Scott Johnson, CSP, ASP still considers himself a “construction worker at heart.” But a chance encounter with a safety class in college set his career on a different course.

At a time when safety was still an emerging field, Scott saw its potential to make a real difference in workplaces and in peoples’ lives. Today, as vice president of safety and quality for the Americas at Schindler Elevator, he has seen the profession evolve from a focus on compliance to a greater understanding of the people behind the work. In this episode, Scott reflects on the lessons he’s learned along the way, from building genuine relationships with frontline workers to creating safety buy-in and making incremental changes that last.
