In this episode of Safeonomics, we’re joined by Mary Foley, Expert Services Strategy Director at Enhesa | Forbes Contributor to unpack a major shift many safety professionals haven’t fully clocked yet: safety is becoming a financial reporting issue, not just a compliance one.

As new global reporting standards expand the definition of material risk, financial auditors are starting to scrutinize workforce health, safety, mental wellbeing, and climate-related impacts—across more than 40 sectors, not just traditional high-hazard industries.

Mary explains what this means for safety professionals in mid-sized organizations who may not be directly affected yet—but who can use this moment as an opportunity to elevate their work, speak the CFO’s language, and make a stronger business case for safety.

We cover emerging risks like remote work duty of care, heat stress, and climate impacts, how ISO 45001 provides a head start, and why a simple gap analysis can help you get ahead of what’s coming.

You may not be required to report today—but this episode shows how to turn what’s coming next into visibility, influence, and competitive advantage.

🎧 A must-listen for safety leaders ready to move from compliance to strategic value.

In this episode of Safeonomics, we sit down with Sergio Valencia Krauss, CEO of SVK Consulting and the international bestselling author of "Become an Occupational Health and Safety Excellence Manager." With over two decades of experience transforming EHS departments for global giants like Teva Pharmaceuticals, Sergio joins us to bridge the gap between technical safety engineering and high-level business strategy.

We dig deep into the "economics" of safety, exploring why the most successful companies view EHS not as a rulebook, but as a pillar of long-term profitability.

In this conversation, we cover:

✅The transition from Manager to Leader: How to move beyond policing regulations to building a culture of care.

✅The "10 High-Impact Solutions": Key takeaways from Sergio’s bestselling book that you can implement today.

✅Mentorship in EHS: Why the next generation of safety pros needs more than just technical training.

✅The ROI of Sustainability: How to convince the C-Suite that safety is a smart financial investment.

✅Whether you are a seasoned EHS Director or a new manager looking to make your mark, this episode provides the blueprint for achieving operational excellence.

Whether you’re AI-curious or already experimenting with tools, this is a must-listen conversation that balances big-picture thinking with actionable advice.

In this second episode, we build on our conversation with Dr. Maria Silva-Palacios by shifting from the “why” to the “how.” We’re joined by Chris Porter, a proven leader in operational excellence, to explore the real-world strategies and leadership behaviors that embed safety into the DNA of an organization. You’ll hear actionable insights on integrating safety into business operations, demonstrating value at the executive level, and using safety as a competitive advantage rather than a cost.

Inside the episode

Why safety jargon often sounds foreign to other functions—and how a plain-English glossary dissolves friction and speeds decision-making. Connecticut Department of Labor

Peter’s “Good-Day vs. Bad-Day Controls” analogy (seat-belt vs. air-bag) that helps leaders instantly grasp the difference between behavior-dependent and engineered protections. Connecticut Department of Labor

A simple three-tier model—safe enough, not safe enough, unsafe—that lets frontline teams calibrate risk in seconds and act without waiting for permission. Connecticut Department of Labor

How a unified safety language fuels stronger hazard recognition, sharper metrics and a culture where everyone owns the conversation.

Listen in and discover how speaking the same safety dialect accelerates everything else you care about—quality, productivity and, yes, the bottom line.

This episode unpacks Peter’s second article from his Business Class series in Professional Safety Journal, focusing on seven strategies to elevate influence within an organization. Drawing from over 45 years of experience, Peter shares candid stories and practical lessons for navigating workplace dynamics, aligning with leadership, and building credibility across departments.

You’ll learn how to:

✅Identify if the barrier to influence is you, the organization—or both

✅Speak the language of business and align with your company’s value drivers

✅Build cross-functional relationships, especially with finance and operations

✅Shift the perception of safety from a “brake” to a “business accelerator”

✅Avoid the trap of “fixing safety” and instead improve the process behind the risk

✅Understand organizational silos and how to break through them tactfully

✅Calibrate risk perception so safety becomes everyone’s responsibility

Whether you’re new to the safety profession or a seasoned expert feeling stuck, this episode offers a powerful roadmap for becoming a trusted voice in strategic decisions. As Peter puts it: “You’re too valuable to spend your life being frustrated.”

🎧 Tune in to hear how a fresh lens on risk, relationship-building, and operational fluency can transform your impact and career path.

Peter makes a compelling case that injury rates are just the tip of the iceberg. We dive into:

✅Reframing the conversation from “cost of compliance” to drivers of performance and resilience

✅Linking safety metrics to the measures the C-suite already cares about—productivity, reputation, and long-term value

✅Real-world stories where looking beyond incident counts unlocked breakthrough results across quality, morale, and profitability

✅Practical strategies for safety pros to earn a seat at the planning table before decisions are baked in

✅How to spark leadership buy-in, foster cross-functional ownership, and build a culture where people feel safe to speak up and innovate

Whether you’re battling the “safety is separate” mindset or searching for fresh language to influence executives, Peter’s insights will help you elevate the conversation—and your impact.

Join us for a lively session on the next episode of The Uncertainty of … with Zach Granzow discussing Measuring Safety Performance on Friday, March 21 2024 at 11am Eastern Daylight time.

Is your organization aware that you may be “metric fixated”? As humans we like to impose regulations, standards, policies, compliance rules, best practices on our workforce. Then we measure everything we can despite receiving unintended negative consequences.

✅Why do we have this inherent need to measure safety performance?

✅What value are you getting from the safety metrics you are tracking?

✅How can we adapt a performance system that enables safety, not danger, to emerge?

Navigating EHS in a Shifting Regulatory Landscape with Chip Duffie

In this episode of Safeonomics, we sit down with Chip Duffie to explore how political shifts impact environmental, health, and safety (EHS) regulations—and what that means for safety professionals.

With the change of administration, EHS enforcement may face major changes. Will deregulation empower companies to take control of safety, or will it create new risks and uncertainties? Chip shares his insights on what businesses should expect, how safety professionals can stay ahead, and whether less enforcement makes EHS professionals more valuable or more expendable.

We tackle big questions, including:

🔥 What can a president actually do to reshape safety regulations?

🔥 If OSHA weakens, will state regulations, insurers, or industry groups fill the gap?

🔥 Should safety professionals fear deregulation—or see it as an opportunity?

🔥 How can companies maintain strong EHS programs without federal oversight?

No matter what happens in Washington, one thing is clear: safety remains a business-critical priority. Tune in for a deep dive into the future of EHS and what professionals can do to stay ahead in uncertain times.

In this episode of Hard Hats & Heart, we sit down with Andrea Hine, an accomplished safety and operations leader at Suncor, to explore how human-centered design is transforming the way new technologies are implemented in industrial settings.

As Connected Worker Product Owner, Andrea plays a key role in ensuring that innovation isn't just about technology—but about people first. We discuss how Suncor actively involves frontline workers in the adoption process, strategies for overcoming resistance to change, and how feedback loops drive continuous improvement.

Andrea also shares real-world examples of successful digital transformation initiatives, the biggest challenges in aligning tech with workforce needs, and what the future of connected work looks like in the energy sector.

If you’re interested in how thoughtful design and innovation can lead to safer, more efficient workplaces, this episode is for you!

The Uncertainty of show for January 2025 will be on Safety in Law Enforcement.

Instead of a live session, it’s a podcast that Gary Wong recently recorded with Nancy Hess.

Nancy and Gary are joined by Lou Hayes to talk about his law enforcement experiences in Metro Chicago and the uncertainties that police officers face in their line of duty.

What parallels are there between enforcing criminal and civilian laws that define public safety and dealing with safety laws, regulations, standards that define worker safety?

Do workers understand what situations safety rules must not be broken?

Do they understand when rules may be bent because they sense danger may emerge if they don’t adapt?

The latest phenomenon in artificial intelligence (“AI”), generative AI such as ChatGPT, has changed the world as we know it. While some fear AI will replace workers and others praise its efficiency and productivity, there is no doubt that AI could be the largest technological advancement since the invention of the computer.

Now, companies are starting to wrestle with how to handle the use of AI in the workplace. In fact, it is possible that your company is already using AI in ways that you might not have considered or be aware of. For Human Resources, generative AI can produce strong benefits including helping to create job descriptions, draft model interview questions, or assist managers in preparing performance evaluations. But with every benefit, there comes risk and limitations, including discrimination, confidentiality, and reliability concerns.

Participants in this webinar will learn about:

Protecting confidential and trade secret information

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (“EEOC’s”) Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Fairness Initiative

State and local laws regulating the use of AI

Best practices on the use of AI in the workplace

Wayfinding is the process of orienting oneself and navigating from one place to another. Essential wayfinding tools are maps and a compass. Examples of compass direction is a safety improvement initiative target or on a grander scale, a safety vision destination.

1. Why is a resilient wayfinding process needed to navigate through the uncertainties of unknown unknowns, unknowables, unimaginables?
2. What maps do you have to not only minimize risk but also to seize opportunities as they emerge?
3. How can we use maps generated by storytellers for wayfinding?

Presented by Kara M. Maciel, Lindsay A. DiSalvo, Nicholas W. Scala, and Mark Ishu

Over the past several years, employers have seen a significant uptick in retaliation claims filed by employees and investigated by federal agencies. For example, in 2010, only approx. 30% of all charges filed with the EEOC included a retaliation claim, but that number shot up to over 50% in FY 2022. Similarly, the number of total whistleblower complaints filed with OSHA increased significantly in FY 2023, with the vast majority of those complaints – about 71% - filed under Sec. 11(c) of the OSH Act (retaliation based on protected safety acts). The whistleblower complaints filed under Section 105 of the Mine Safety and Health Act have also been on the rise and MSHA is particularly aggressive in its approach to the investigation of these claims, often seeking temporary reinstatement of the complainant for the duration of the investigation, and litigation, if the complainant was terminated

When a retaliation or whistleblower complaint is received, employers have a chance to explain why the complaint should be dismissed. However, each Agency handles the investigation and analysis of the evidence differently – using varying processes and burdens of proof to determine whether and how the retaliation complaint should proceed. The strategy and response provided by the employer will depend on the type of complaint and the agency investigating it, but it is generally an opportunity for the employer to provide the information necessary for the agency to conclude its investigation and ultimately close the case file. The responses can, however, create a written record of admissions that the agency could use against the employer. Thus, employers should be strategic in their approach to a whistleblower investigation and the information shared at that early stage.

Participants in this webinar will learn:

Applicable federal whistleblower and anti-retaliation laws

The varying processes used by the EEOC, OSHA, and MSHA to evaluate whistleblower and retaliation claims

Strategies employers can use to effectively respond to retaliation complaints

Proactive measures employers can take to avoid employee complaints

Spotlight: Unique Aspects of State OSH Plans

Presented by Anthony M. Casaletta, Victoria L. Voight, Megan S. Shaked, and Daniel C. Deacon

Twenty-two states have OSHA-approved state plans that cover both private and state and local government workers. While state plans must be at least as effective as federal OSHA, some state plans have regulations unique to their state. Many state plans also have their own penalty reduction policies and procedures that differ from OSHA’s. As such, employers in state-plan states cannot assume that complying with federal OSHA regulations and following federal OSHA procedures will suffice. Keeping up with state plan states’ regulatory changes and enforcement priorities can be challenging for employers, particularly those with operations throughout the country.

Join our team of OSHA lawyers practicing in various state-plan states for an overview of key differences and developments.

Participants in this webinar will learn:

How state plan states differ from federal OSHA

Unique state-plan regulations

How policies and procedures vary in state-plan states

New developments in state-plan states

Compliance tips for employers that have employees working in multiple states

Tips and Strategies for Preventing and Responding to Workplace Violence Incidents

Presented by Kara M. Maciel, Rachel L. Conn, and Daniel C. Deacon

Workplace violence has been a focus for both the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) for several years, as it continues to be one of the leading causes of occupational injuries in the country every year. While OSHA has no specific standard for workplace violence, the OSH Act's General Duty Clause requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized serious hazards, and OSHA has instituted enforcement actions under its General Duty Clause after incidents of workplace violence. OSHA has also initiated a rulemaking to address workplace violence in specific industries.

California has taken the lead in implementing the first workplace violence rule in the country for general industry, requiring nearly all California employers (unless they fall under one of the limited exemptions) to establish, implement, and maintain an “effective” written workplace violence prevention plan, investigate every incident workplace violence (broadly defined), create and maintain violent incident logs, conduct annual employee and supervisor training, and abide by additional recordkeeping requirements. This general industry rule follows the Cal/OSHA regulation on Workplace Violence Prevention in Health Care.

The EEOC has also prioritized ways to effectively prevent and address workplace violence, particularly in the form of workplace harassment. And outside of OSHA and the EEOC, employers can also be held liable for workplace violence through other claims such as negligent hiring and supervision.

Participants in this webinar will learn about:

- What constitutes workplace violence

- EEOC and OSHA enforcement priorities related to workplace violence

- Legal risks associated with workplace violence

- Updates on federal OSHA workplace violence rulemaking

- California’s New Workplace Violence law

- Best practices for workplace violence prevention

- Tips for responding to a workplace violence incident in your work

As humans we are experts at developing engineering solutions which provide a level of Certainty. A popular belief is that Management can envision an ideal safety culture. We can then engineer this desired culture in the same way we design and build a robust machine.

In this show we explore another region of the real world that is Uncertain and Unpredictable. For context we will look at the Aviation Industry from a Robustness and Resilience perspective.

Questions we will address:

• Why does the Blunt end of the Safety Spear (regulators, elected officials) prefer a robust approach to improve a resilient safety culture?
• What if there was a different view of safety culture - not one that can be engineered but one that emerges naturally from systemic changes?
• How might using sense-making methods and tools be ‘faster, better, cheaper’ to improve safety culture?

• Allison's Journey: Discover how Allison's unique path led her to a fulfilling career in safety, highlighting the value of embracing one's background and interests.
• Career Development Tips: Gain insights into practical advice for advancing in the safety field, including the importance of networking, continuous learning, and finding mentors.

• Embracing Challenges: Allison shares how to navigate the challenges and uncertainties within the safety profession with resilience and a positive outlook.

Key Takeaways:

• Practical tips for career advancement in safety.
• The importance of community and networking.
• Insights into mentorship and its impact on professional growth.
• Strategies for dealing with challenges in the safety field.

This episode offers valuable lessons for safety professionals at all stages of their careers, emphasizing the importance of community, mentorship, and personal growth. Join us for an insightful and motivating discussion with Allison Short.

OSHA Recordkeeping, E-Recordkeeping, and Reporting Update

Presented by Eric J. Conn, Lindsay A. DiSalvo, Valerie Butera, and Ashley Mitchell

Last summer, OSHA finalized an amended E-Recordkeeping Rule, which expands the data many employers are required to submit to OSHA every year. We are also at a moment in OSHA’s history when the agency is clearly staffing up and ramping up inspections and enforcement generally, and with respect to injury and illness recordkeeping specifically. For example, OSHA has just introduced a new enforcement policy to allow for instance-by-instance citations for recordkeeping violations. With data submissions to OSHA under the new E-Recordkeeping Rule due now, and with the new enforcement risks around recordkeeping, accurate OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping and reporting is more critical now than ever before.

This webinar will take a deep dive into the top 10 reasons it is critical to get recordkeeping and reporting right, with tips and strategies for how to do so. Participants in this webinar will learn:

• Why it is more important than ever to get recordkeeping right

• New requirements of the E-Recordkeeping Rule

• Enforcement efforts and policies related to injury and illness recordkeeping

• Common recordkeeping errors

Preparing for California's Indoor Heat Regulation

Presented by Rachel L. Conn, Megan S. Shaked, and Andrea O. Chavez

Although temperatures have cooled down in California, the status of California’s Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Regulation has heated up. California’s Heat Illness Prevention in Outdoor Places (8 CCR 3395) has been in place since 2005. However, in one of the first of its kind standards in the country, California is preparing to adopt a similar Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Regulation. While various revisions to the draft standard have been circulating for the past year, the current draft is likely in its final form. It is also expected that the Cal/OSHA Standards Board will vote on the regulation at its March 2024 meeting and the final regulation will be effective this summer. Since both outdoor and indoor heat illness hazards have been covered by a special emphasis program from Cal/OSHA for several years, the new Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Regulation is expected to continue to be a high enforcement area for Cal/OSHA. Accordingly, now is the time for California employers to familiarize themselves with the regulation and begin to prepare for compliance.

Participants in this webinar will learn about:

• The requirements of the Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Regulation

• Landmines awaiting employers as they move into compliance with the new regulation

• Strategies for developing a compliant Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Plan

• The intersection between the Indoor and Outdoor Heat Illness Prevention Standards and how to integrate both

The trio discusses the crucial need to view sales as a systematic profession, not merely a task of pushing products or services. They shed light on the psychology behind sales, emphasizing its importance when selling safety programs or ideas within an organization. They also explore the omnipresence of sales in various aspects of life, asserting that everyone is selling something, be it an idea, a belief, or a product.

The conversation further highlights the importance of having a structured system in sales, akin to other professions. They argue that without a system, it becomes challenging to improve or excel. They introduce the concept of 'push and pull' in sales, where pushing represents telling people what they need, and pulling involves engaging them in a conversation to understand their needs.

Lastly, they stress the importance of selling the right thing, understanding what the customer is actually buying, and why they should buy from you.

The book builds on ideas to further understand why relationships are the venue through which leaders bring about change in organizations. On our show we’ll discuss:

- Why employers must pay attention to their organization’s mental, physical and psychological well-being data to keep their top talent and essential workers

- Why challenges presented by the data will not be resolved by technology nor traditional change management practices

- How “authentically inclusive” leadership can embed Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging (DEIB) into everyday work of the organization

The book in a series of short essays or “snapshots” explains how people actually make decisions, particularly under time pressure and uncertainty in high-stakes situations.

On our show we’ll discuss:

- What is meant by “seeing” cognition?

Our session focused on talking about the safety guide that Jeff Dalto complied with 37 other safety professionals to share EHS Professional success stories. It's a great tool to help everyone learn from other people's successes.

Then we started to look at the various patterns and themes Jeff and Gary noticed were emerging from the various stories. This is an awesome booklet with a compilation of success stories across the globe. These are real stories of real success implemented in real organizations by real people. A word cloud was generated from the 37 contributions. Download booklet: https://lnkd.in/gPMfCXqs

Jeff shared the following key takeaways:

• Start small,
• Don't forget to learn about and build on successes (and don't spend all your time studying and trying to correct failures/problems),
• The importance of communication (asking questions, changing the words you use, etc.), and
• Be humble and be prepared for the possibility that your ideas may not have worked out as well as you had hoped

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the challenges faced by safety professionals in getting the support and they need from their organizations;
• Analyze the intersection of business and safety and the role of safety professionals in advancing the safety profession and making businesses work better;
• Evaluate the importance of safety as a strategic imperative in organizations and how safety professionals can influence how businesses approach safety.

In Allan's book he shares are stories and insights into mental health aimed directly at men. Statistics show that both men and women suffer from mental illness equally but respond differently. Men seek help less often than women. Men refuse help because of an antiquated assumption that they must always remain strong.

• Why has “toxic masculinity” been allowed to trickle down through the generations?
• What are the new lessons of healthy masculinity being taught today?
• How might we influence complex system work conditions so that an organization is ready and willing to change its cultural perceptions of mental health?

While the book is geared towards those considering a career in Environmental Health and Safety, it will spearhead a discussion on the status of the EHS profession.

From the demand side, what is the current market situation for people contemplating entering or transitioning into EHS?

From the supply side, we see labor shortages in a lot of industries. What challenges are we facing in our own Safety industry?

How well are university degree and college diploma programs addressing the evolution of safety practices? Are institutions setting up people  as “recipe followers” or “chefs who know how to think”?

This book explores current Safety Culture approaches, and applications critically. He provides some useful and practical suggestions for different (possibly even better) ways of thinking are offered. View book: https://amzn.to/3rX0QAV

Global pandemics are happening more frequently. As we continue to struggle our way through COVID-19, the World Health Organization has declared the monkeypox outbreak a global emergency. Once again, we see misinformation in abundance.

Science has the answers and needs to present them in a strong and effective manner. However, communicating science is difficult and sometimes almost impossible.

This book is a guide to addressing misinformation and pandemic management.

• How do we “trust safety science”?
• How should a pandemic management plan be executed?
• How can we ensure our messaging is done well?

View book: https://amzn.to/3RqBbLG

Our guests will share their own personal experiences, talk about what advocacy issues were going on when they began their careers and how they have helped or hindered progress of diversity in our workplaces.

Accelerated by COVID-19 protocols, we are seeing organizations transform into remote and hybrid enterprises. Andrew has led the development of a “team of teams” framework to help them take strategy into delivery. Moving teams away from the office does not mean we abrogate our responsibility for workplace safety and sustainability.

• How might the traditional approach to governing safety require changing?
• How might we reduce OHS risks at home?
• How might we identify and support issues such as mental health, family and domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse?

If stress is the global epidemic of the twenty-first century, then resilience is the cure. Resilience is the ability to prepare for, respond to, and adapt to incremental changes; challenging, difficult, and disruptive situations; and major upheaval or catastrophes. Resilience isn’t just the ability to tough it out; it’s dependent upon an interconnected set of skills, techniques, creative processes, and new understandings of how we think, act, and interact with our environments and each other. Learn:

- There’s no such thing as an inherently stressful situation, workplace, or event.

- How to appreciate and benefit from hidden information in your unconscious signals and intuitions

- The Everest Pattern to develop your decision-making for complex, high-risk situations.

  In this session we look at:

  • What are the practices of managing CRITICAL STEPS?
  • How does it change the emphasis from simple error avoidance to ensuring success proactively and systemically?
  • How might asking "What must go right?" identify the CRITICAL STEPS as well as the low-risk work activities where the loss of control has little or no impact?
  • Once mapped, can line managers then give greater control of low-risk operations to the expert judgment of the workforce?

  Incidents are a natural consequence of the complexity of the system.  How does one apply micro-experiments in a complex environment where outcomes cannot be predicted beforehand?

  How does one embrace non-compliance as a starting point to gaining insight in operational performance? 

  How does one create the freedom teams need to be curious without passing judgement, finding out about how work is really done?

  This “how to” book for those responsible for the overall organizational performance offers a coherent “sensemaking” approach to safety that is different, doable and directed. 

  Incidents are a natural consequence of the complexity of the system.  How does one apply micro-experiments in a complex environment where outcomes cannot be predicted beforehand?

  How does one embrace non-compliance as a starting point to gaining insight in operational performance? 

  How does one create the freedom teams need to be curious without passing judgement, finding out about how work is really done?

  Are you good at “using a hammer” and seeing all safety issues as “nails”? What if the issue isn’t a nail but a screw? Do you continue to pound away?

  We will be looking at questions such as; Do you struggle setting safety targets in an unpredictable future? How can one manage the Present to create a new direction of travel more important than creating false expectations about how things could be in the Future?

  In the session we (our community) will be addressing several questions about psychological safety (PS). Is it an important aspect of workplace safety? What are the potential benefits of learning how to engender PS? What do we mean by PS? Have we addressed the downsides and limitations of PS so that we don't get blindsided by unintended consequences?

  Rosa and Tamara are both early adopters, (See Rosa’s 2016 article) but recently it seems to be everywhere and we fear it might be getting watered down and misinterpreted. We don't want it to become another "safety culture", where people use it to explain things that are not otherwise making sense to them. It seems that once we find a label we can check it off our list of worries. Is it just us, or are others sensing the same thing?

   This is a call for community members who have knowledge and strong opinions about the direction that the topic of psychological safety is taking.

  A Learning Team encourages organizations to obtain and consider different perspectives and angles of functional diversity to define a problem in a group context. The different perspectives that emerge from a Learning Team group demonstrate that no one person holds all the knowledge needed to solve complex problems.

  Learning Teams support both worker learning and organizational learning by allowing the different stakeholders groups to understand better what, when, how, and why, people do things differently rather than following formal, written procedures or systems.

      Laurin Mooney  High Reliability & "Speaking IN®" Coach

      Laurin helps people learn, live, and love High Reliability Organizing. Her expertise is translating the why and how of HRO into models that are easy to understand and can be used by anyone, anywhere. The High Reliability Mindfulness Map is easy to understand and integrate into any work.  However, she saw a huge barrier to high reliability in organizations, a lack of psychological safety causing people to remain silent.  Recognizing the flaws and failure of the “speak up” strategy, she innovated the Speaking IN® model and practice.  This leader-based model can transform the experience of seeking and speaking truth in an organization by helping people understand the power of diverse perspectives.  Laurin keeps everything fast, fun and memorable by using animals, drawings and simple questions you can use every day.

      Organisational safety culture is the product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies and behaviours. In the 21st Century world of work, we have more women in the workforce, yet safety data, safety laws and stereotypes are based on the default male, which impacts the emotional safety of women at work.

      This series of five podcasts will raise the awareness of diversity at work and how this impacts the safety of women in the workplace by focusing on:

      • Episode One: The total mental load and the unpaid shift, which disproportionately affects women with our Guest Sylvia Marusyk Founder of MindBody Works.
      • Episode Two: Stress experience and coping, which differs for men and women with Guest Louise Hosking Owner of Hosking Associates.
      • Episode Three: Organisational trust and belonging.
      • Episode Four: The lack of sex differentiated safety data and it’s impact on safety law makers.
      • Episode Five: The role of leadership in change.

We export the health and safety perspective, that the unpaid shift, can increase the risk of stress and health, for example suffering more chemical exposure. We look at how more manual handling and in general do more hours adds to the stress load.

Join as we discuss if this is the province of human resources, safety, or leadership lead by Rosa Carrillo. Come share your thoughts and learn from others. We will look at the latest findings on the state of well-being at work and recommendations.

      The International Labor Organization defines workplace wellbeing as it: “relates to all aspects of working life, from the quality and safety of the physical environment, to how workers feel about their work, their working environment, the climate at work and work organization. The aim of measures for workplace wellbeing are to complement OSH measures to make sure workers are safe, healthy, satisfied and engaged at work.”

      Mental health affects how we perceive, think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. It is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health is “a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.”

      Every day we are showered with articles and webinars on how to manage “return to work” the “new normal” or the upcoming economic crisis. 

      They recommend creating psychological safety, paying attention to people’s emotions, practicing mindfulness and vulnerability. If you wait until a crisis to apply these practices it is too late.

      These are the leadership qualities and practices needed everyday. That’s how you develop the trust and open communication that you will need during crisis. That’s how you develop the skill to apply them when stress kicks in.

      We live in an increasingly hyper-connected, dynamic, rapidly changing world that has resulted in massive complexity. Per the Global Wellness Institute, most of the world’s 3.4 billion workers are unwell.  They ranked the issues that employers across various sectors believed would have the most negative impact on productivity.  Stress led the list of issues, reported by 72% of organizations.

      Let’s explore the way forward through relationship centered leadership and mindfulness. Let’s answer:

      
      

      • What is the reality of our situation, and what needs to change? 
      • What outcome do we want - what would that look/feel like? 
      • What options do we have to start to make progress, and what can we commit to? 
      • How did it go? What should we try next?

      About Our Guests:

      Anna Keen is the Director at Acre Framework. After a 12 year career recruiting Health and Safety professionals across the globe I became concerned that the skill set presented by candidates in the market was not meeting the changing needs of business.

      In 2015 I joined Acre to form Acre Frameworks, a unique development solution focused on improving critical non technical competencies in Health and Safety professionals. At the core of the service is a unique Competency Frameworks co-created with our Advisory Panel, a community of 95 progressive industry leaders.

      This Framework underpins a psychometric discovery tool that not only makes Acre’s recruitment offering the most robust in the market but more importantly allows individuals to understand the impact of their behaviours against this Competency Framework. Development needs identified in the process are then supported through structured coaching and training with the aim of developing self awareness and enabling self leadership and skill acquisition. It’s through these interactions that the Acre Frameworks team supports professionals to become more curious, creative and courageous.

      Acre Frameworks now supports the continuous recruitment and development of Health and Safety Professionals in over 20 countries and in over 30 organisations including Amazon, Vodafone and Lloyd’s Register.

      In addition to growing Acre Frameworks and Acre’s wider recruitment offering, I am an active ambassador for promoting diversity in the profession and inspiring the next generation of leaders in Health and Safety.

Campbell Award honors companies that achieve business excellence through the integration of EHS management into business operations.

        In part one of my conversation with Katherine Smith, we chat about the man and the award named in his honor.

        Robert Campbell was an occupational health and safety pioneer whose work started in the early 1900’s His core beliefs are evident in today’s EHS systems through an increasingly humanitarian approach to safety management and further with the fundamental that good safety typically translates to good business.

        The Campbell Award seeks to collect and highlight the best examples of safety, health and environmental management.

        The Award was established by the National Safety Council which is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 1913 and given a congressional charter in 1953. The council boasts move the 50,000 members from business, labour, education, public services, private organizations and individuals.

        Have you ever wondered if there was a safety ‘think tank’ and if there was, what kind of work would it do? Katherine is going to tell us all about it.

        Katherine Smith holds a Master of Arts and a Bachelor of Science from Northern Illinois University. Ms. Smith has been with the NSC for 6 years and has been the program manager at the Campbell institute and the manager of the Campbell awards process since 2015. Through her work experience, Katherine has excellent reference points for many research projects, and other valuable academic work, with Institute members who are a who’s who of leading global organizations.

        In this two-part podcast, we talk about:

        • The four goals of sponsorship for the Campbell Award
        • Previous Award winners and some of their noteworthy contributions to integration of EHS requirements to their business systems.
        • Five areas of EHS management excellence including leadership, integration, data management, alignment and corporate citizenship
        • Elements of leadership including CEO commitment, performance plans, employee empowerment and leadership training.
        • Integration of EHS system and the importance of audit programs, anticipation of challenges and considerations related to contracted work forces.
        • The key elements of EHS sustainability and a great example of community involvement that contributes to that goal.
        • Issues related to alignment of EHS goals including risks related to acquisitions and operational readiness.
        
        

        Social responsibility as its related to EHS and examples from the 2018 Campbell award winner and the valuable work that are doing in the community’s they operate in.

        Andrew talks first about hearing, the function of listening and the incredible sensitivity of the human ear.

        Andrew describes the evolving regulatory framework for noise control in workplaces and the duty of care employers that employers are required to meet.

        We chat about cases studies where significant hearing loss was sustained from workplace exposures, including a unique case of acoustic shock syndrome, that resulted in a significant monetary award to the injured employee.

        Control of noise at source is a legislated requirement that employers need to be mindful of before PPE and other, less effective, controls are considered. Sound and vibration identification and damping technologies are advancing rapidly. These technologies are further sustained by a variety of consultancy and workplace analysis services that assist employers when investing in noise control methods.

          Workplaces that take a hard line when enforcing ‘safety absolutes’ may be undermining  worker safety. That’s the central premise of author, teacher and educator Dave Rebbitt’s article Hypercompliance: Too Much of a Good Thing?

          In this episode, Dave Rebbitt and I discuss things to be mindful about when this approach erodes the fundamental trust and support workers have for health and safety systems. First, Dave walks us down the path that led to the Hypercompliance phenomenon. We chat about the reality that unintended consequences can arise from good ideas and good faith assumptions about how the workplace operates.

          Through the podcast, Dave covers the influence of major thinkers and writers that have have influenced workplaces since the early 1900’s. We also chat about more contemporary safety management activities like auditing, behaviour-based safety and a systems approaches. Finally, we unpack the culture of ‘Zero’, the features of Hypercompliance and the significant downside of taking no prisoners when it comes to enforcement of safety rules.

          In this episode, Patrick and Bill discuss Safety Mentoring: Safety Competencies for Young People.

          Bill Schenold is on a mission to address the sobering facts that more than 10,000 teenagers die and more nearly half a million are seriously injured each year. Safety Mentoring was conceived and developed as an extension of Bill’s experiences in the railroad and transportation industries to address fundamental issues of knowledge of hazards and risk management. Young people are better prepared for adulthood when they comprehend the importance of safety in the home, workplace and in leisure activities.

          Bill describes the events that motivated him to create the mentoring program, the organizations that are involved and how the effort has grown.

          Bio

          Bill Schenold is from the southwest side of Chicago where he attended William J. Bogan high school,  Southwest City College, Morraine Valley Community College and Governors State University.

          Bill’s career began in radio broadcasting at WJOB-AM in Hammond, Indiana and continued at WLNR-FM and WFLM-FM in Lansing, Illinois and Crown Point, Indiana respectively.

          Concurrent with his work in media, Bill was a conductor on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad which sparked an interest in occupational safety. Through his time at the railway Bill produced a variety of safety-related media that provided a valuable intersection of communication skills and deep knowledge of community and workplace safety.

          How Advanced Drone Technology and Industry Know How are Keeping Pipelines Safe and Reliable

          There are a lot of pipelines across North America and new lines continue to come on stream with regularity as demand for commodities increases. As a result, the integrity and safety of pipelines is a significant issue that has gained the attention of the public, media and politicians. In this episode, we will tack down the previous, current and evolving processes and technologies that keep this critical infrastructure safe and reliable. Pat chats with two industry experts about how drone technology is revolutionizing the pipeline integrity business.

          Sean Carnahan and Jason Braverman of SkyX are on the leading edge of innovation in the infrastructure integrity business. In the podcast, we talk mostly about oil & gas pipelines and Sean explains much about the history and the business of pipeline integrity with historical reference points on how things used to be done and the new impact or UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Jason describes how the technology, including the emerging field of artificial intelligence, is making pipeline systems and other critical infrastructure safer and more reliable.

          Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with purpose-built aerial systems allows capture of actionable data that drives operational excellence for midstream oil and gas, power transmission lines, railway lines and other long-range assets. This allows organizations to make better decisions with regards to the health of their aging infrastructure and mitigate risks associated with having remote assets.

          Sean Carnahan has more than 30 years’ experience in the oil & gas industry with special expertise in the areas of pipeline integrity management and innovative solutions.
