At the 2024 edition of the North American Food Manufacturing Summit series we sat down with Evan Bressler of Pactiv Evergreen to talk about Safety Culture. Of course everyone wants to be safe in their work, but the very fact that safety issues are ever-present means there is a temptation to treat them too casually, to forget about them when things are going well or people are in a hurry, to assume people know the right way to do things, and a host of other issues that can creep into shopfloor behavior unless Safety professionals and senior leadership sets a tone and constantly reinforces Safety Culture. What does that look like in the day to day and over the long term? How do you inspire ongoing commitment, understanding, and engagement? How do you make it matter to everyone in a very real way? How do you keep it fresh and interesting? For all this and more, give this episode a listen!
