McInroe’s approach starts with a ‘Safety Moment’
Chris McInroe joined Perlo Construction in 2005 as a project manager and advanced to senior project manager before being named project director in September. During that time, he has been instrumental in improving the company’s safety culture.
The initiatives he has championed include building safety into Perlo’s “Mock Project” training platform for newly hired project managers and engineers, and improving Perlo’s pre-construction meetings by adding several safety-related questions and considerations.
McInroe represents the company’s Project Manager Group as a Safety Committee Team member; spearheads the implementation of its Construction Athlete Program, a daily mobility, flexibility and strength regimen for field employees; and leads companywide training in the importance of “soft skills,” such as communication and body language, in the construction arena.
