Shaun Carvalho is chief safety officer at Shawmut Design and Construction, a leading $1.3 billion national construction management firm. Carvalho leads the team in piloting and implementing safety programs and technologies to enhance Shawmut’s commitment to world-class safety. Previously vice president and safety director, Carvalho was the driving force behind multiple safety-oriented initiatives including Safety Week, the implementation of a new safety app and other technologies, as well as driving and communicating safety processes and programs. Carvalho has 20 years of experience in construction safety, starting off in the field as a site safety manager.
The last two years have demonstrated the importance of prioritizing overall health and well-being — and how everyone’s personal and work life affect each other. With safety being the number one priority in construction, leaders in the industry should take the lessons learned to implement a holistic approach to safety, addressing both physical and psychological health.
