Why Authenticity Is Crucial for Effective Safety Management

In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with Chris Moulden, Vice President of HSE at Primoris Services, who’s a certified safety management specialist and Canadian-registered safety technician. 

Chris prides himself on working with integrity, passion, and a value-driven cultural mindset and uses his leadership skills to help create proactive, sustainable safety-conscious workplace environments.

Many safety professionals discuss the importance of developing trust with employees and management, but Chris believes authenticity is the essential building block. 

The term is currently a marketing buzzword, so Chris helps us understand exactly what authenticity in the workplace means. He explains how fear is generally the root cause of inauthentic behavior and why it’s so important to avoid disingenuous safety talk.

Chris explores how to develop authenticity and how you can demonstrate authentic safety leadership in the workplace. He regards HSE professionals as the ultimate team players with crucial roles to play within organizations. But Chris knows this isn’t easy - as he acknowledges; “with great power comes huge responsibility”.
