Your safety program is only as strong as the supervisor in front of the crew.
FOR SAFETY, ESG AND HR LEADERS
Most foremen were never trained for the hard conversations. We fix that.
The real risk sits with the people
least prepared to handle it.
Supervisors get promoted for doing the work well, not for knowing what to say when someone is off. So crews go quiet, about hazards
and about everything else.

the suicide rate for men in construction and extraction jobs, compared with all working men (CDC)
Most supervisors
have had a worker bring them a mental-health or substance concern, and many weren’t sure what to say (Construction Executive)

Awareness isn’t the gap.
Knowing how to talk to your people is.
Field Foundations trains supervisors through one-on-one coaching and monthly Leadership Labs over 12 months, on the real situations your crews face,
until the habits stick.
