William Langford
Age: 28
Safety Manager
ARCO/Murray Construction Co.
Tampa, FL
One of Will’s most notable safety initiatives was developing the first safety committee in the history of the ARCO Enterprise. Will was able to get the buy-in of leadership to meet once a quarter. During these meetings, Will leads the three vice presidents through recent safety trends, statistical analysis and cultural highlights. This gives them not just a clear picture of where they are, but what they can do to steer ARCO toward being a safer company. This program has resulted in dozens of policy changes, construction and design changes, and improvements to subcontractor safety requirements.
