Partners in Safety – Pam Walaski, CSP || Client Side Chats

We start the year with a 3 part series with Sondra Lavoie, CSP, ASP, CHST, discussing communication with the boots on the ground. Sondra offers her vast knowledge of experience and skill as a safety professional to share how to bridge the barrier of respect and engagement with people who are at the point of operation. Success in building a positive rapport includes developing the relationship and caring, something the “boots on the ground” can detect very readily. The rewards are great with shared safety engagement and resolution to challenges only they experience and can see. Check out this episode to learn what and how.

James Boretti, CSP, President / CEO of Boretti, Inc. offers new year’s greetings and a hint at what to expect in Client Side Chats in 2024.

Skipper Kendrick, CSP, FASSP, President, Kendrick Global Enterprises, LLC, joins us for part 3 of a 3-part series about “When Are We Going to Learn.” In this third part, Skipper and James pick it up from “why” to how we apply what we learn to looking forward: how we handle what we don’t know. Skipper discusses how our safety recommendations need to consider the business case, and how safety needs to be functionally sound in the organization. As Skipper notes, business people want to know how building a handrail is going to make the business money. In the end, it’s ROI: the Right Organizational Investments.
