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.

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.

Skipper Kendrick, CSP, FASSP, President, Kendrick Global Enterprises, LLC, joins us for part 1 of a 3-part series about “When Are We Going to Learn.” In this first part, Skipper discusses and challenges the idea that compliance is equal to safety. Skipper shares examples that question that notion and, while compliance is important and not going away, it is not the magic bullet that would put you into the top-tier safety performance. Skipper leaves us in this part with two things needed for safety training and about “safety first”: listen to hear what he really thinks.
