Recently, ESR President Julia Kunlo and Senior Safety Director Guy Raymond had the opportunity to present on the ROI of Safety at the ABC of Central Florida Safety Champions Conference. Their session focused on helping safety professionals build stronger business cases for safety budgets, prioritize initiatives when resources are limited, and measure results over time to demonstrate value.
The presentation highlighted a simple but important truth: that safety is a profit center. Effective safety programs reduce injuries, lower both direct and indirect costs, improve productivity, and strengthen overall business performance. By identifying the initiatives that deliver the greatest impact and tracking measurable results, organizations can demonstrate how safety contributes to long-term growth and success.
Thank you to ABC Central Florida for hosting another outstanding Safety Champions Conference. With more than 200 construction safety professionals, industry leaders, training opportunities, equipment demonstrations, and educational sessions, the event provided a valuable opportunity to share ideas and continue advancing safety throughout our industry.
