In this episode, SHP’s Rhianna Sexton, caught up with Rachel Butler, who is Head of Health, Safety and Risk at property development company, Bruntwood, on her current role and how she got into health and safety from early beginnings in the construction industry.
Rachel discusses her journey moving up in health and safety, the importance of questioning the way things are ‘always’ done, the challenges during the pandemic on construction sites, and calls to advocate health and safety in universities to emphasise how diverse the role can be through graduate schemes.
