  • A must listen for anyone in safety

    When I learned of this unique podcast that critically analyzes the practices in safety with evidence from peer reviewed literature, I was thrilled - there is a dearth of critical thinking in our era, and this podcast goes a long way to ensure that people know of the evidence (or lack thereof) behind what they do. A great addition to the field of safety podcasts.

Ep. 127: Should safety education focus on hard skills
Q: Should safety education focus on hard skills or soft skills?

The higher risk is largely due to gaps in communication, unclear expertise related to specific conditions, and safety management systems that don't adequately support subcontractor operations.
