Rebranding Safety with Sam Goodman - Implementing HOP with SME's

James and Sam Goodman AKA The HOP Nerd have a quick fire session about the challenges of implementing HOP with SME's. This was an episode that Sam has put out on The HOP Nerd Podcast - thanks so much for having me on Sam!

Rebranding Safety with the Fleet Geeks - Driver demands, blame, challenges within the industry and compliance vs safety

Gutted that it's the last episode Pete will be joining us as our quarterly co-host. It's been so informative and a great laugh, so thank you to him and hopefully we'll be hearing more from Pete in the future. For this last episode, we're joined by his fellow Fleet Geeks! With Mike and Jamie, we talk about why they joined Flagship Partners and started the podcast, and the challenges they see on a daily basis within the fleet industry. Enjoy.

Rebranding Safety with Vincent Butler - Are we as good as we think we are?

Thanks so much to Vince for coming on the pod to talk to us about his career, The Hazards Campaign, his experience and knowledge of silicosis, and how as a profession, safety has a long way to go before we put people before profit. This one's an eye-opener. Enjoy.

Rebranding Safety - Diary Episode 1

The comings and goings of a safety consultant.

Rebranding Safety with Michael Cournane - New View in application

Thanks to Michael for joining us on the pod for a second time. In another episode where we view how theory has been put into practice, Michael takes us through his experience of practically applying 'new view' theories within the utilities and energy sector and navigating a complex and fast-paced industry with complex regulations. We discuss Safety Differently and Safety II, learning teams, the role of the HSE professional, clutter and the intent of a safety system. Enjoy.

Rebranding Safety with Pete Rushmer - CoHost for Q3! Episode 2

Pete is back with us again for his second episode as our quarter 3 co-host! This episode in the series on fleet safety focuses on Transport Managers. Making comparisons to the safety industry, Pete and James explore the role of a Transport Manager, they discuss the pathways to qualifying, soft skills, CPD, compliance vs cash, plus too much banter about hairstyles and beards to note! Enjoy.

Rebranding Safety REACTS - Episode 4 - News story reactions

James gives his thoughts on two recent news stories: "1 in 4 unsafe London buildings have non-cladding related fire safety issues" and "Starbucks to Close Stores over Safety Concerns". This chat touches on many things including; safety being a branding game, the absence of accidents and the presence of safety, and is stay-put safe? Naturally, this turns into a bit of a rant..... Side note - definitely meant 1099 and not 199 ;)

Rebranding Safety with Tiffany Argent - The problem of under-reporting accidents

Thank you to Tiffany from Safety Culture for joining us on the pod this week. We talk about blame culture, and re-categorising accidents to avoid poor statistics, along with the solution to these, including celebrating improvements in safety using mobile-first technology. Enjoy.

Rebranding Safety with Sonny White - The journey to publishing industry guidance on "Fire alarm considerations for people with sensory sensitivities".

So glad to finally publish this episode with Sonny. We had a few technical issues the first time we recorded but we went in for round 2, talking all about his amazing journey to publishing the industry guidance alongside a team of other experts. We discuss why there was a need for a new piece of guidance, the anxieties and challenges around fire alarms and the distress they can cause, and the suitability of alarm systems for the buildings in which they are fitted. So excited to see what the future holds for Sonny, and so grateful to him for joining us on the pod. Enjoy.

Rebranding Safety with Dan Hobbs - how can AI compliment our work as safety professionals?

Absolutely loved this chat with Dan from Protex AI about how AI can assist us in our roles as safety professionals. It's a massive concern that AI will be used by companies to wag the finger at employees and impose blame, but Dan talks about managing safety as a collective and understanding that it's a set of behaviours and cultures. The future of work cannot be seen without tech being involved. Safety needs to seriously up its game in the technology space to complement our work as safety professionals and Protex AI are providing solutions to help us do that. Enjoy.
