5 SAFETY LESSONS FROM CAVE DIVING

Deep Water to the Construction Site

From the most dangerous deep underwater caves, to inside shipwrecks, icebergs and lava tubes, Jill Heinerth has explored some of the world's riskiest environments. Find out how she manages risks on each project, why safety culture is key on every team and what you can do to apply her lessons at your site.

"For us it's the last dive of a project that tends to be the most dangerous, when people feel like they need to tick off those final boxes. And I'm sure it's the same on a construction site." -Jill Heinerth
