Steve Howe is a highly respected and inspiring workplace safety expert whose career and purpose were forged through extraordinary adversity.

In 2006, at the age of 22, Steve suffered a catastrophic workplace accident when he was struck by an excavator bucket and dragged several feet. The injuries were life-threatening. He spent 90 days in a coma, underwent 83 surgeries, and remained in the hospital for more than 300 days. Doctors told him he would never walk again.

Against all odds, Steve survived—and rebuilt his life with one mission: to help ensure that what happened to him never happens to someone else.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in the construction industry, Steve brings an authentic, firsthand understanding of the dangers workers face every day. He is currently a Vice President of safety, implementing practical, high-impact safety programs that shift culture from reactive to preventative. His lived experience gives him unique credibility with frontline workers, while his leadership roles have equipped him to speak strategically to executive teams about the urgent need for accountability, communication, and trust in building a safer workplace.
