A New Definition of Safety
Safety is more than harnesses and personal protective equipment (PPE). Everyone agrees that safety on job sites and within teams is a crucial factor of any project. In the last five years, safety has become a broader subject and now includes creating and sustaining a harassment free workplace, psychological safety, suicide prevention, and supporting addiction recovery. This town hall features some of those in the industry who are taking up these challenges.

20th Anniversary of 9/11 – The Firefighter Who Never Gave Up
September 11, 2001, is the day where the world stood still. Buried, crushed and bleeding beneath the tons of rubble of the South Tower, Joe Torrillo wondered what life could be if given just one more day. He was miraculously found alive by rescue workers with multiple fractures, a massive brain injury and barely breathing. The light of day was something he always took for granted. Within ten minutes of being rescued, Joe was buried again under the debris of the second collapse …the North Tower. A real and regular person, he shares his lessons of managing fear under the most horrible situations.
