In this week’s episode, Mousa sat down with Ben Legg, an HSEQ expert with nearly 30 years of experience in construction and support services from the UK to the Middle East. He shared how he challenges the traditional safety paradigms, advocating for leaders to engage in real conversations with the workforce to bridge the gap between policy and practice. Throughout the discussion, Ben shared the lessons he’s learned about creating impactful safety cultures by empowering frontline workers and moving away from top-down, compliance-only approaches to HSE.
Tune in to get Ben’s perspective on the importance of building trust and curiosity, asking the right questions, and leveraging technology that reduces friction rather than creating digital clutter from safety training and procedure material. Explore the critical role of leaders and the need for them to have a firsthand understanding of the dangers their frontline workers face to ensure they can address those hazards head-on and provide a safer working environment faster and more effectively.
Listen to Ben’s take on safety leadership and engaging your team.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
