For the Love! ... of Safety

Stop production!? We can't do that...can we? Tune in as Justin and Jed discuss when and how to consider shutting things down to ensure safety of work.

So, where does EHS sit in your organization? Operations, HR, maybe completely siloed on its own island? On this episode we bring on two special guests to discuss where EHS should be and if it matters where the function sits in the larger business context.

Occupational health and EHS, is it the same? Is that the clinic's job and we as EHS professionals don't need concern ourselves with that? Of course not! Come find out why.

How can EHS benefit from marketing and communications? Are there untapped resources at your fingertips that you may not be using in your EHS strategy from our friends in marketing and communications? We think so and have even brought a guest to talk about this very thing!

Get ready for a long one folks! This episode is all about the art and science of industrial hygiene. Justin and Jed discuss the discipline with special guest Nicole Greeson and why it may just be the most misunderstood discipline EHS has to offer.

EHS, environment, health, and safety... What we think about it now has changed since we got into the game. EHS really is a dynamic role. Come found out why on this episode as Justin and Jed discuss this ever improving profession.

For the Love of Safety is back for Season 2! We cannot wait to share new content, discuss EHS matters with a host of guests, and continue to have fun in the great profession. Tune in as Justin and Jed overview Season 2!

Season one has concluded! For a couple of safety professionals (but amateur podcasters), this podcast has been most enjoyable! Justin and Jed have gone through much trial and error but the show has marched on. Tune in for a season one recap and plans on season two!

It's time to turn to the audience! This time, we are the ones getting injured. Justin and Jed discuss how they both recently were injured by seemingly low-risk tasks and what that means for the profession of health and safety.

Injuries are a very real part of our professional practice in occupational health and safety. There are tied to injuries traditional risk categories that help to sort the severity and understanding of those injuries. Justin and Jed believe those traditional risk categories, especially when related to injuries, fall short of gaining a better understanding of risk. Tune in to understand why potential when aimed at injuries helps us to further characterize and manage risk.

Every organization must have good leadership and every health and safety program will inevitably involve that leadership. In fact, it absolutely must involve them! However, is all leadership involvement with health and safety good and profitable? Justin and Jed mine the successes and pitfalls of how leaders interact with the EHS function. Spoiler alert, (the right) leadership involvement does equate to a safer program!  

Is there a difference between compliance and safety in the workplace? If you are compliant does that mean you are safe? We would make the argument that compliance alone does not go far enough. Come find out why and perhaps consider some ways to take health and safety beyond mere compliance.

Are we just as safe (or not) at home as we are at work? Does it matter how safe we are at home? Can I really impact work safety with home safety? Let's chat on the differences (and similarities) of being safe at home and work. You may be able to impact more than you think! Oh, and for all the health and safety professionals out there, jury's out! We know you do silly things too. We may even have a few stories about that on this episode...

In the introductory episode, come learn a little bit more about Justin and Jed as they open up about what makes them tick! You'll hear not only some background on the hosts but what For The Love of Safety is all about.
