Believe In Safety (A Survivor's Story)

Believe In Safety is a powerful, story-driven session exploring how routine, pressure and rising risk tolerance influence everyday decisions on the job. Brandon Schroeder will walk you through the moments before and after the workplace accident that nearly cost him his life. He’ll reveal the mindset, jobsite culture, and decision-making patterns that led to a critical shortcut. Balancing emotion and practicality, Brandon will break down key psychological factors such as complacency, familiarity bias, production pressure and the normalization of unsafe behaviors to show how these forces quietly shape decisions long before risk is recognized. You’ll leave with practical tools, including pause points, risk recalibration cues, peer-check language and prompts for personal responsibility. You’ll walk away with renewed awareness, stronger communication and a deeper commitment to safety.
