Abby Ferri: Getting Safety Right, The Mentor We All Wish We Had

Welcome back to the Safety Knights Podcast! ⚔️ In this episode, host Zach Johnston sits down with Abby Ferri, one of the most recognizable voices in modern EHS, safety leader, author, speaker, and a driving force at the National Safety Council. From stumbling into construction safety in the early 2000s to shaping national conversations on culture and risk, Abby’s journey is full of hard-won lessons and very human moments. In this episode you will learn: • How Abby found her way into construction safety when no one wanted construction • What it was really like being a young woman in safety on male-dominated job sites • How curiosity, walking the site, and asking workers what they need builds real trust • Why better PPE became her gateway to influence and culture change • Why "fire someone so they know you are serious" is broken leadership advice • How burnout, boundaries, and refusing bad environments changed her career • Why EMR and TRIR are overrated, and how claims, insurance, and risk control drive a business case • What CIFs and roadway exposures reveal about what is truly broken in safety performance • Why mentoring early-career safety professionals is critical as veteran leaders retire • Her take on AI, telematics, computer vision, and why technology can never replace the human element Abby also shares the belief that guides her work: "People over everything." If you have ever felt stuck between frontline realities and executive expectations, or you are wondering what the next 5 to 10 years of safety might look like, this episode will hit home.
