Driving Safety Forward: Key Insights from the 28th IIF CEO Forum

At Aldridge, safety is more than a core value—it’s the foundation of everything we do. This commitment was at the forefront of discussions during the 28th IIF CEO Forum, held on November 7–8 in Pennsylvania.

Ken Aldridge, our Chairman of the Board, joined industry leaders to tackle some of the most pressing safety challenges facing the construction sector. From strategies for safe driving to improving drug testing for new hires, the forum was a powerful platform for collaboration and innovation.

One key focus was the exchange of best practices for cultivating a safety-first culture. Participants shared tools and strategies to engage teams at every level, ensuring safety is valued on and off the job site.

Another critical topic was driver safety, emphasizing the need for robust training and consistent reinforcement of safe driving behaviors. As a company committed to excellence, Aldridge continues to explore innovative ways to mitigate risks and protect our workforce - having recently launched a new fleet management tool that helps detect and capture risky driving behavior.

Drug testing for new employees was also on the agenda, sparking meaningful discussions about balancing operational demands with maintaining a safe, drug-free workplace.

Forums like this are vital to staying ahead of industry challenges and driving meaningful change. They remind us that collaboration isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the key to building a safer, stronger future for everyone.
