It's one of manufacturing's biggest challenges: building a genuine safety culture that actually works. If your safety initiatives aren't moving the needle, this conversation is for you.
On this episode, Ed and Alvaro welcome safety expert Shawn Galloway, CEO of ProAct Safety. Shawn brings decades of experience across every industry—from nuclear facilities to tech companies. Listen in as they dive into the most common safety mistakes managers make, why treating safety like a problem to solve (instead of value to create) is backward, and how your frontline supervisors are either your biggest asset or biggest blind spot.
Highlights:
-
Strategy beats "whack-a-mole" problem-solving
-
Culture change happens at the supervisor level, not the executive level
-
Make the safe choice the easy choice
-
The absence of failure doesn't equal excellence
Whether you're a plant manager, safety coordinator, or someone who just wants to go home safe every day, Shawn's insights will challenge how you think about safety.
