Virtual Safety Roundtable: What They Didn't Tell You About Being a Safety Pro

Wednesday, July 15, 2026
8:00 AM – 9:00 AM 
Virtual via Zoom
Free for AZUCA Members | Registration Required

Being a safety professional in the underground utility and excavation industry is about much more than OSHA regulations, inspections, and paperwork. Every day requires balancing production schedules, managing risk, earning field credibility, navigating difficult conversations, and making decisions that protect both people and projects.

Join AZUCA's monthly Virtual Safety Roundtable for an honest discussion about the realities of working in construction safety. Whether you're a seasoned safety director, new to the profession, a superintendent, project manager, or company leader, this conversation will explore the challenges that aren't covered in training manuals and the practical lessons learned along the way.

We'll discuss topics such as:

• Building trust and influence with crews in the field
• Managing the constant balance between safety and production
• Handling difficult conversations and gaining buy-in
• Common mistakes new safety professionals make and how to avoid them
• Leadership lessons from experienced safety professionals
• Strategies for preventing burnout while maintaining a strong safety culture

This interactive roundtable is designed to encourage open conversation, the sharing of real-world experiences, and practical takeaways that attendees can immediately apply within their organizations.

Cost: Complimentary for AZUCA members and industry guests.

Come ready to share your experiences, ask questions, and connect with others who understand the unique challenges of keeping underground construction projects safe.

Who Should Attend: Safety professionals, supervisors, foremen, operations personnel, project managers, and anyone involved in safety and workforce training.
