Ever wondered why safety culture in manufacturing is so critical? In our latest episode of NYS Manufacturing now, we take a walk down memory lane with our guest, Jim Testo, president of EHS Risk Management and an expert in environmental, health, and safety (EHS) corporate programs. We dive into the evolution of safety practices, starting from the 1980s, and the stark contrast between compliance and risk management. Our interview shines a spotlight on the harsh realities of neglecting risk management – from soaring insurance costs to crippling fines and litigations. Despite their earnest efforts, we hear from manufacturers who've experienced accidents, emphasizing the importance of vigilance in safety.
Fasten your seatbelts as we zoom in on how technology is revolutionizing workplace safety. We touch on ingenious inventions such as seatbelt alarms and auto-stop cars and discuss the financial benefits of implementing such programs. Uncover why the younger generation is more inclined to follow safety protocols and how empowering leaders with accurate information can catalyze effective decision-making. As a bonus, we also provide a glimpse into the enticing New York State Innovation Summit that aims to exhibit groundbreaking products and technologies.
