Don Bradway has spent more than 30 years in the safety field, starting
as a firefighter/paramedic and then moving into the construction safety
venue. He has worked for several major civil construction firms, two
workers' compensation insurance companies, the largest California roofing
company and on three awarding-winning light rail projects. This
background gives Don a unique perspective on safety, having worked for
the emergency services provider, the contractor, the owner, the consultant,
the insurer and the broker.
He is a past chairman of the AGC of California Safety and Health Council and has been a member of the Construction Division of the National Safety Council since its inception. He has been a guest speaker multiple times at the Safety Council's annual conference, the American Society of Safety Engineers' Pacific Rim Governor's Safety Conference and the Chicago Construction Safety Conference, as well as the World of Concrete and the International Roofing Exposition.

Don has taught multiple safety courses, including trenching and excavation, lead in construction, the OSHA 10 and 30-hour construction safety courses and has been certified as a radiation safety officer. Don specializes in safety training, believing that employees who are properly trained are much less likely to be injured or cause injuries on their job sites. He takes a practical approach to safety and strives to assist his clients with finding the most effective and efficient means of achieving job site safety.
