Join me as I share my story on why workplace safety is important to me.  

Join me as I share a blog that I wrote in 2009 after investigating another workplace fatality.  This blog is from a young (back when I was) safety practitioner's perspective.

Join Ryan Davis and me to discuss what type of safety data organizations should be collecting, how to make it more meaningful, and how to really learn from your Certificate of Recognition (COR) audit. Join us as we nerd out while talking about workplace safety. #safety #COR #occupationalhealthand safety #datadrivensafety

Join me and Australian psychologist Clive Lloyd as we discuss how to move organizations from compliance in safety to care in safety with suggestions for leadership and for the worker.

Join me as I discuss with Shannon Bolger, President of Benchmark Safety, her experience working as a woman in health and safety and why it's important for organizations such as WOHSS (women in occupational health and safety society) to exist.

Join me and Lee-Anne Lyons-Bartley as we discuss possible trends in OHS in 2021.  Covid19, public safety, mental health, working from home and the professionalization of safety in Canada.  It's a great way to kick in 2021!

Join me as I welcome resilience expert Patricia Morgan to discuss how to manage anxiety, tools to ensure you're not catastrophizing, how to stay connected during a period of crisis and much more on this podcast.

Please join me as I discuss with organizational design and systems expert, Dr. John Latham, the importance of understanding how an organization is created to interact and the benefits of understanding how the system works. Most importantly for the safety professional, is recognizing and understanding the levers to pull as you influence without authority. Dr. Latham is an organization architect and researcher who helps leaders design, build and lead organizations that create sustainable value for multiple stakeholders.

How do you describe what you do for a living?  Recently, I was asked by someone what I did and I stammered through a pathetic response.  Then I remembered, I used to answer that question so clearly and concisely. Today I share the information on how to create your elevator speech.  It's essential, regardless of whether you are looking for work or are employed.  It captures who you are, why you do it and what you do well. Enjoy! Yours in safety,  Stephanie

Kate Bowers is a researcher and Human Factors Specialist with the National Energy Board (NEB) and she joins me in this podcast to discuss some interesting research she did on "Senior Management Safety Leadership Behavior." What is the importance of senior management in shaping the organizational culture around safety?  What is safety climate and how have some of the tools we use in the industry been misapplied? What key behaviours do leaders need to exhibit around safety to their workforce and where does the system sometimes break? Kate gives us a lot of food for thought.  I share some learning experiences and we enjoy some great learning for just over 60 minutes.  It's a long one so sit back, relax and enjoy. This podcast is dedicated to Lawrence Smith and Don Ross (Lead Investigator on the Lac Megantic accident) - two safety professionals who left us too soon.  RIP.
