Take the Blindfold Off Your Warehouse Operation
How to Build a Safety Culture That Actually Works — With Antwan Davis
Let’s face it—most safety training is boring, reactive, and ineffective. But what if we flipped the script and made safety about people first, not policies?
In this powerful episode of Warehouse Visionaries, Evan sits down with Antwan Davis, founder of Davis Safety & Training Consultancy, military veteran, and passionate safety leader redefining how companies approach safety in warehousing and logistics.
Antwan brings hard-earned wisdom from his military background and hands-on warehouse experience to challenge the traditional “policy-first” mindset. Instead, he shares how building real relationships with workers, making safety training engaging and personal, and shifting company culture from reactive punishment to proactive care is the path to lasting change.
You’ll learn:
- Why safety should be seen as a productivity multiplier, not a barrier.
- How $185 million in citations in 2024 alone make a compelling case for investment in safety programs.
- Why people are more important than processes—and how to build a safety culture from the bottom up.
- Simple ways to make training stick: relatable stories, humor, sports analogies, and building trust on the floor.
- How to approach leadership and floor workers differently—while treating both with empathy and accountability.
“Most people just want to get home. If they feel safe and supported, productivity follows.” — Antwan Davis
If you're ready to ditch the OSHA-scripted lectures and build a real safety culture where people actually care and participate, then this episode is your blueprint.
