What does it mean to truly make safety personal? In this episode of The Safety Heroes Podcast, Bridget Todd, Global Head of Enterprise Health & Safety at Baker Hughes, shares how safety isn’t just about compliance—it’s about people, families, and the real-life impact of every workplace decision.
Bridget discusses the ‘Make Safety Personal’ initiative, a campaign designed to reinforce that safety is about who you go home to at the end of the day. She highlights how emotional connections, storytelling, and leadership commitment can drive engagement in ways that traditional training often fails to achieve.
The conversation explores leadership’s role in fostering psychological safety, how to build a strong Stop Work culture, and why great safety leaders embrace ‘chronic unease’—constantly questioning what risks might be going unnoticed. Bridget also discusses the evolving role of technology in safety and how organizations can balance innovation with frontline adoption.
She shares a deeply personal moment that changed her perspective on safety forever—a reminder that behind every job is a life that must be protected.

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.
