to Leadership,” exemplifies the direction in which this industry and the Safety and Health Council is moving – from compliance to a culture of care. Carvalho challenged listeners to think


about what success looks like to them, to set goals that aim high, and to recognize the impact of constant distractions and negative thinking that the average human experiences on a daily basis. Tanks to the digital world and cell phones and other media, “we’ve been distracted as a human race more in the last 15 years than ever before,” he noted. “Ninety-five percent of (safety) incidents can be traced back to a human factor. Are we creating an environment where (employees) can be their best?” Carvalho urged employers to share expectations and goals with employees and to “create a positive jobsite, built on empathy, com- munication and safety as the foundation.” Following the keynote address, AGC


of California recognized the winners of the 2022 CSEA Awards, which honored their strong commitment to safe work practices over the past year.
