The Canary Report: Safety & Risk Management
Scaling Safety Without Losing People: Lessons from Eric Yates

Eric Yates, VP EHS at Balfour Beatty USMost organisations say they want to scale safety. Fewer are willing to scale accountability, trust, and the right expertise along with it. That’s where things break down. In this episode of The Canary Report: Safety & Risk Management, I sit down with Eric Yates, VP of Environmental Health & Safety at Balfour Beatty, to talk about what it really takes to bu...

Deconstructing Digital
The Digital Translator Between Site and Systems with Brian Hammersley (Balfour Beatty)

In this episode of Deconstructing Digital, Brian Hammersley, Director of Digital Adoption at Balfour Beatty, shares what it really takes to bridge the gap between IT and frontline operations in construction. Drawing on more than 20 years of operational experience, Brian talks honestly about friction on site, the balance between security and usability, and why productivity – not just log-ins – is the re...

Bah, humbug! Air Force base housing landlord says no Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving
Outdoor Christmas decorations didn’t fly at U.S. Air Force base housing in the Florida Panhandle before Thanksgiving. The private company that operates a community of homes near Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) instructed residents to remove their Yuletide decorations and refrain from putting them back up until after Turkey Day. “All holiday decorations should be reflective in their respective months and not any sooner than 30 days before the given holiday,” the landlord said in the message. Air Force Capt. Justin Davidson-Beebe, a Tyndall spokesman, said that the landlord, Balfour Beatty Communities, had set the policy. “They are enforcing the comm...
