How to Build Contractor and Subcontractor Safety Partnerships with Tim Rich

"If we have an injury, that's our injury. That is a combined shared injury between us. We get together shoulder to shoulder, we roll up our sleeves and we look at what systems, what behaviors led us to that. We don't look at it as you failed. We share the fault, we share the responsibility and we share the action to fix it." This week Dr. Logan F. Martin and James Junkin welcome Tim Rich, Construction Safety Manager at Boardwalk Pipelines, to discuss what contractor and subcontractor safety management looks like beyond the pre-qualification portal. They discuss how he builds alliance contractor relationships, what their annual Contractor Alliance Summit delivers, and why incident response is a shared responsibility between operator and contractor.
