What can safety professionals learn from a man who prunes trees, chops down trees, removes deadwood and trees, and grinds tree stumps? A lot, apparently! Listen to this episode to find out!

Today’s topics include:

* Andrew started in software engineering but found the desk job isolating, leading him to explore tree climbing as a way to combine problem-solving and physical activity.

*Andrew’s transition from a desk job to tree work, and how his analytical mindset has helped him in this new field.

* How many tree workers lack proper training and safety practices, leading to injuries and bad habits.

How Andrew started his own business to prioritize safety and best practices, despite potential slower work rates.

* Stories of unethical company cultures and near-incidents, highlighting the importance of setting one's own rules and regulations.

* Andrew recounts a dangerous tree climbing experience with a colleague who made multiple mistakes, including not tying the rope properly and not paying attention.

* The importance of building confidence and comfort level in a safe manner, while also respecting individual boundaries and not pushing people to do something they're uncomfortable with, even if it's not a safety issue.

* Safety protocols and leadership in a tree service industry, including how layered safety measures, such as wearing chaps, are important for preventing accidents.

* How leaders set the tone for their organization's culture by their actions and behaviors.

* If leadership doesn’t prioritize safety standards, it may be a sign that the company doesn't truly care about its workers.

* The importance of standing up for safety and leading by example, even if it means pausing a project or speaking up when someone is not following safety protocols.

In this episode, Rachel and Apolonia explore:

* How women in the safety industry are often overqualified, yet we still feel we have to prove ourselves to our colleagues (who happen to be mostly men).

* Rachel’s plans to film more safety videos, including ones where she tests (and destroys!) personal protective equipment (PPE).

* Rachel’s memories about filming her first (and now embarrassing) safety video, and then not filming her second video until three years later.

* Branding your safety company, and how Rachel went through a few different names before committing to calling her company Ally Safety.

* Why Rachel named her company Ally Safety: “Because I wanted us to be your ally in workplace safety.”

* There’s no clear path to ensure that your safety career is successful. It takes a lot of trial and effort, plus a ton of heart and soul.

Topics that Apolonia and Bec discuss in this episode:

* How Bec got started out in safety for the oil and gas industry, including how she had to quickly skill-up with terms such as metacarpal gloves, personal gas detection, Pelican cases, self-contained breathing apparatuses (aka SCBAs), and so forth.

* How it’s cliché to say, yet it’s true, that companies often have safety manuals, regulations, systems, and tools, but all of these are sometimes different from what actually happens on a worksite. Bec views her job as bringing those as close together as possible.

* Bec working her way up from an assistant safety representative to where she is today.

* The benefits of seeing the people you work with as friends, brothers, and sisters.

* Giving workers the tools and information to make their own decisions, rather than twisting their arms, or telling them that “this is what the company wants you to do.”

Topics that Clancy and Apolonia discuss in this episode:

* Clancy’s view that CrossFit can sometimes be more helpful for people than a traditional healthcare setting.

* Clancy’s big decision to buy a gym with his wife.

* How gyms can provide a sense of community for members. And how companies can learn about community from places such as gyms.

* That people often don't need education as much as they need motivation and inspiration. This is where community comes in. Someone might know that they need to stop smoking and exercise more. But knowledge often isn’t enough. Do they have a community supporting them and holding them accountable?

* How the personal and the professional are intricately connected.

Topics that Terry and Apolonia discuss in this episode:

* A company can spend a boatload of money on safety conditions. Ultimately, though, the success (or failure) of a safety program depends on people.

* OSHA rules and regulations are very minimal standards. If you're not doing that, that's like trying to be in the major leagues when you can't pitch and catch.

* While behavior-based safety is crucial, it’s not the be-all-end-all. It’s not a magic potion that’ll solve all of your safety woes. You can’t ignore safety fundamentals (which aren’t included in behavior-based safety programs).

* Never just look at what workers do. Also, strive to understand why they do what they do.

* Terry has issues with leaders saying that they want to make safety a company’s number one priority. Once he said to the board of directors of an oil company: “Look me in the face and tell me you want to tell your stockholders that this company is the safest company that ever went broke.”

In this episode, Don and Apolonia Rockwell discuss:

* How Don moved from marketing to safety. In a nutshell: One of Don’s colleagues recognized that, as a marketing guy, he was a great “cheerleader” for his company. That colleague saw transferable skills in Don that could apply to safety.

* How Behavior-based safety (BBS).

* Falling in love with safety—because, ultimately, safety is about helping people.

* Helping people have “a-ha!” moments where they say something like: “Oh, I know now why I should wear safety glasses.”

* The difficulties of making “safety stick.”

* How Don and Mohawk Industries rolled out a “Stop and THINK” program. The acronym THINK stands for:

T – TRAIN yourself to look for the hazard or risk in every task.

H – HONE your understanding of the job or task.

I – IDENTIFY the hazard.

N – NEVER sacrifice safety for speed.

K – KEEP others safe.
