Rebranding Safety

Rebranding Safety

A Health and Safety Podcast, boring and complicated right? Nah. It’s the only source of H&S guidance that isn’t boring, or over the top, it’s my personal battle against Health and Safety gone mad. I have been described as a hip young gunslinger of a host and a guy that knows his onions . The podcast has been described as motivating, entertaining, hip and cool, rough and ready, refreshing, funny, interesting, opinionated. It’s not your normal podcast it’s not just full of interviews, yes we have interviews in the expert explains series, but we aim to provide actual content here!

And does it work the other way - can we apply what we learn in parenting to the workplace? How do we prepare our children for be...

Not to dwell on the past but....... Here's a conversation between James and Elisa Lynch 🍉 about a post that went pretty viral here on LinkedIn back in May. This was recorded on the day (we're on podcast publishing catch up! 😖) and the frustrations are live!

The post itself was regarding a cut Hi Vis and the responding approach taken by the safety professional on site. In discussing their thoughts on the approach taken, James and E...

Join James and Peter where they chat about society and community and its relationship with work and safety. They discuss mental health, sharing mistakes and whether or not we need more 'community' as well as where/how we can find it - if at all......

It's a mixed bag this week...... James and Peter discuss gamification and how in making the communication of safety fun, we can ingrain a stronger message. Also, what does it mean to work and how we can tie this to health and safety initiatives, plus a call to action: We're crowdsourcing problems! If you have a specific problem in the world of safety or risk management that you're trying to navigate/'hack' let us know. We can the...

We're not necessarily talking about the people, the books, the podcasts etc...... but what examples from real life experiences have we taken and adapted to use in our roles as safety professionals? What have we pulled from our hobbies and past times? Our quirky interests? (holla Pete and his torches!) We big time get into gamification and how we use it to communicate a message, as well as critical thinking and being advocates for j...

James is joined by the wonderful Juliana Bley, psychologist, founder of SafetyLab and Ted X speaker.

Juliana also talks about the Art of Hosting, a global community practising participatory leadership, collaborative practic...

Disclaimer - Profanity used throughout this podcast. As safety professionals, we find it abhorrent that a person can lose their life at work, but as a society, do we accept that it’s OK for a person to die at work in the name of progress - either economically, socially, technologically? We give our thoughts on this harrowing subject, citing figures from the ILO and HSE reports. We discuss modern slavery, forever chemicals, as well ...
