Rising Stars of Safety, Class of 2020
Extraordinary talent during an extraordinary time
Kyle Carrier
Age: 26
Assistant Safety Director
Reliable Contracting
Gambrills, MD
“Kyle recognizes that people are not machines and are more moved by reason and personal beliefs than charts and graphs. When Kyle implements new policies, he makes it a point to let the field know the reasoning behind certain initiatives and not just 'Because I said so.' Kyle believes there are many things that motivate people on the job. He emphasizes that having all workers go home at the end of the day safe and sound is the main goal. The field understands that a stellar safety record may result in extra money in their pockets. Kyle tries to appeal to the practical attributes of employees, because building a safety system is pointless if you cannot build the culture to go with it.”
