This bonus episode of Rethinking EHS, Season 3 focuses on the invisible cultural factors that shape organisational risk and safety performance. The discussion highlights how companies can have strong procedures, audits, and compliance systems in place while still experiencing serious incidents because underlying cultural issues remain unresolved. Through real-world examples, the episode explores how communication breakdowns, siloed decision-making, and inconsistent leadership behaviours can undermine even the most mature EHS programs. Ultimately, the episode underscores that strong safety culture requires more than documentation and compliance — it depends on leadership alignment, open communication, consistent behaviours, and a long-term investment in people. Guest quotes: Alizabeth Smith: “The risk they hadn't controlled, the risk they hadn't looked at, was cultural.” Alizabeth Smith: “If you don't deal with communication and consistency, people start believing the program will change in six months anyway.” Timestamps: 00:00:00 – Introduction to cultural risk management  00:00:33 – Case study: when strong systems still failed  00:01:25 – Identifying cultural breakdowns and lack of trust  00:02:46 – Communication silos in large organisations  00:03:55 – Building a global risk register and consistent controls  00:05:00 – Why onboarding and training often fall short  00:06:09 – Wearables, micro-training, and new approaches to engagement  00:07:27 – Executive incentives and unintended reporting behaviours  00:09:39 – Leading indicators versus lagging indicators  00:11:44 – Case study: transforming culture in a global manufacturing company  00:15:04 – Developing future EHS leadership internally  00:15:51 – Closing reflections  Sponsor Copy Rethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

Episode 3 of Rethinking EHS, Season 3 focuses on the transformation of risk management in a rapidly changing global environment. The discussion highlights how modern risks now spread faster than ever through interconnected supply chains, social media, workforce pressures, and geopolitical instability.  The episode also explores how organisations are using leading indicators, management systems, and predictive approaches to identify operational risks earlier, while integrating EHS considerations into due diligence, procurement, sustainability, and organisational change processes. Ultimately, the episode underscores that resilience depends on organisations proactively understanding risk, improving communication, and embedding risk management into every level of business decision-making.

In this episode of the TapRooT® Podcast, we break down the truth about leading indicators, lagging indicators, safety metrics, and “safety theater.” Are your KPIs actually improving safety performance or just encouraging people to game the system? Mark and Tim discuss how organizations misuse safety measures like TRIR, behavior-based safety observations, corrective action closure rates, and leading indicators. They explore how poorly designed metrics can create unintended consequences, hide real risks, and even damage safety culture. If you work in safety management, incident investigation, operational excellence, human performance, process safety, EHS, or root cause analysis, this episode is packed with practical insights on building better safety systems and avoiding metric-driven failures.

EHS and AI are starting to transform safety and reliability in oil and gas. But most organizations are still managing safety as a compliance exercise, not an operational advantage. That approach is under pressure. Operations are more complex, regulations keep shifting, and critical EHS data is scattered across systems, spreadsheets, and sites. When something goes wrong, the impact isn't just regulatory — it shows up as downtime, lost production, and real harm to people and communities. There is a better way to run this. When EHS systems are connected and AI is applied to real operational data, safety becomes part of how the business performs day to day. Instead of reacting after the fact, companies can see risk building in real time, understand how conditions interact, and intervene earlier. The outcome is stronger reliability, fewer disruptions, and better decisions in the field. In this episode, I'm speaking with Amanda Smith, EVP Strategy at Cority. We discuss how EHS is shifting from compliance to performance, why most systems remain fragmented, and how AI is enabling real-time insight into operational risk. Amanda also shares the personal story behind her focus on safety, and a practical framework for how organizations can start using AI without taking on unnecessary risk.

A story of resilience, reinvention, and an unexpected path into safety. In this episode, Jill James sits down with Chanell Alaniz, president of the Oklahoma City ASSP Chapter and former head of EHS for Oklahoma's largest biopharmaceutical manufacturer. Chanell shares an extraordinary origin story that begins on the Mississippi Gulf Coast during Hurricane Katrina, winding through loss, rebuilding, tattoo artistry, scientific research, and ultimately a calling in occupational health and safety.Chanell opens up about evacuating with a newborn, rebuilding her life through Habitat for Humanity, becoming one of Oklahoma's first licensed female tattoo artists, and later transitioning into laboratory science and CGMP pharmaceutical work. Her journey takes a dramatic turn when she steps into her first safety role just three days before COVID‑19 is declared a global pandemic—placing her at the center of biomanufacturing efforts to support vaccine production.Through vulnerability, humor, and deep reflection, Chanell illustrates how a “helper's heart,” a systems-thinking mind, and the influence of strong mentors shaped her into the safety professional she is today. This episode is a testament to the winding paths that lead people into EHS—and the power of purpose discovered along the way.Chanell Alaniz's LinkedInChanell's Story on OptionBKatrina 10 Years Later: MississippiWomen in Safety Excellence (WISE)

We are honored to have Dr. Ronni Kurtz as our guest speaker this morning! He is an Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. And, even more importantly, an EHS grad! The doctrine of the Trinity can feel abstract—how is it that one God can be three persons? When Christians set out to consider the Trinity, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by how other God is. In this sermon, Ronni Kurtz seeks to show how not only is the Trinity true, but why God’s being three is beautiful. The aim of this sermon is to show how we are both satisfied and saved by the triune God.

Send me a messageIf your safety metrics are improving, are your people actually safer? Or are you just getting better at measuring the wrong things?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by John Dony, CEO and co-founder of the What Works Institute, and Mike Swain, Technical Enablement Manager at Evotix, to unpack a stubborn problem hiding in plain sight: why serious injuries and fatalities remain frustratingly hard to reduce, even as traditional safety metrics appear to improve. In a world of tighter regulation, more fragile operating models, and rising scrutiny across global supply chains, this is a resilience issue, a risk issue, and very much a leadership issue.We dig into why lagging indicators can create a false sense of control, and why better reporting can actually be a sign that the truth is finally surfacing. You'll hear how Mike saw incident reporting jump by 800% after better systems were introduced, and why that was good news, not bad. We also break down why the classic safety triangle often fails to predict serious harm, especially in complex supply chains shaped by contractors, seasonal labour, handoffs, and fragmented accountability.We also explore where AI, data, visibility, and governance genuinely add value, and where hype still outruns reality. You might be surprised to learn that one of the sharpest lines in the episode is John's view that if organisations want AI to work, they need a time machine to go back and get their data right first.

Technology is transforming how we live and work, and artificial intelligence is reshaping Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) in profound ways.

On episode 285 of EHS On Tap, Joe Keenan, senior EHS/risk management professional, talks about how to measure and assess your organization's safety culture.

Ty Farmer, senior director of Corporate Safety at Dycom Industries, Inc. could have let being placed on a performance improvement plan (PIP) early in his career derail him completely. Instead, he turned a difficult moment into a powerful learning experience and an opportunity for growth. Ty's military background led him to his first role at General Electric (GE), where he was quickly thrown into the fire as a regional EHS manager for the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Rather than shutting down in the face of early challenges, Ty leaned into his experiences, using them as opportunities to reflect and grow. After more than a decade at GE, he moved on to a new role where he built an organization's safety program completely from the ground up. In this episode of My Big Safety Challenge, Ty shares why building genuine connections across an organization—from the brand-new employee to the c-suite executive—is essential to creating a strong safety culture. He also discusses the importance of a glass-half-full mindset, offers practical insight on gaining leadership buy-in, and explains why it's a strength, not a weakness, to ask for help.

Dr. Elif Erkal, associate director of research and strategy at the Construction Safety Research Alliance, shares why metrics like total recordable incident rate (TRIR) don't tell the whole story and offers alternatives for more proactive safety management. She discusses how tools like high energy control assessments can help EHS professional identify high-energy hazards and the importance of a balanced scorecard to ensuring the effectiveness of controls.

In this episode of the Built to Serve Podcast, we sit down with Derrick Eddie, better known as “Gunny”, a Marine Corps veteran whose decision to enlist changed the entire trajectory of his life. Coming from a troubled past, Gunny found discipline, purpose, and opportunity in the Marines, including six years competing on the All-Marine Basketball Team and traveling the world through the sport. He brings plenty of humor along the way, joking about life as a “diet recruit” in boot camp and insisting the best part of Okinawa was the food. Gunny also opens up about the harder chapters of his transition, sharing how he struggled with drinking after leaving the military and how his daughter helped him quit, refocus, and rediscover his identity beyond the uniform. Today, Gunny works in the EHS department at Performance Contractors, where he's found fulfillment mentoring younger craft professionals and continuing his mission of service—just in a different way.

On episode 284 of EHS On Tap, Catryna Jackson, CEM, Global EHS&S Advisor at Evotix, and Monique Parker, CSP, Chief Sustainability Officer at Elevra Lithium, talk about the benefits of integrating EHS and sustainability data.

Tune in to learn more all about how Frontline works, and if it could be an option for your plant!

Wyatt Bradbury, Principal – Health and Safety at Avetta, joins us to discuss the hierarchy of controls and its role in helping reduce risks in the workplace. He shares why it’s important for EHS professionals to examine the effectiveness of the controls at their job sites to help ensure they are reducing risk to an acceptable level. He also explains “active” and “passive” controls, the “transition of illusion” between engineering and administrative controls and why EHS professionals should prioritize “passive” controls and reevaluate residual risks.

Do you have questions about AI and the role it's playing in EHS? Is it a trustworthy source, and how would you know if it is? What are the benefits and implications? Jill sits down with three of HSI's top executives who are leading the charge in AI technology development for EHS software. Join Jose Arcilla, Chief Executive Officer, John Hambelton, Chief Technology Officer, and Mike Case, Vice President of Product, as they break down what's working with AI, precautions you need to know, and how they're creating tools that grow with the people who rely on them. You'll hear how they're designing tech that learns from real work, minimizes risk, and supports better choices, all while keeping humans firmly in control. From guardrails around ethics and human oversight, and questions to ask before selecting AI-powered solutions, this episode pulls back the curtain on AI development, what's coming next, and why it matters for EHS professionals.

Send us a textAsset onboarding often feels like it should get easier with experience. But for many growing biopharma and manufacturing organizations, it does the opposite.In this episode of Lean by Design, Oscar Gonzalez and Lawrence Wong explore why asset onboarding becomes more chaotic as organizations get bigger. Despite having SOPs, templates, and experienced teams, new equipment still arrives late or incomplete, ownership feels unclear, and validation, IT, EHS, and operations are forced to negotiate readiness in real time.Rather than framing this as an execution or communication problem, the conversation reframes onboarding as a risk transition that is rarely designed explicitly. As organizations scale, experience masks risk, accountability becomes assumed, and operational teams quietly inherit fragility they never agreed to own.This episode isn't about best practices or speeding things up. It's about understanding why onboarding chaos is predictable at scale—and why fixing it starts with seeing the risk clearly.

Heather MacDougall, Owner of MacDougall Solutions LLC, joins us to share steps EHS professionals can take to collaborate with those in their organization and demonstrate the impact safety has on business performance. She discusses the concept of “safety culture” and how it can unintentionally create silos within organizations and impede progress toward improving worker safety and health. She emphasizes that safety is a reflection of an organization’s values and that it is everyone’s responsibility to help keep workers safe and healthy.

Send me a messageAI won't fix broken decisions. Capital markets are driving sustainability. And climate risk is already a safety issue.So why are EHS and sustainability still treated as separate systems?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by Catryna Jackson, Global Environmental Health and Safety and Sustainability Advisor at Evotix, and Monique Parker, Chief Sustainability Officer at Elevra Lithium. Between them, they bring decades of frontline experience across EHS, sustainability, data, and operations. This matters now because climate disruption, regulatory pressure, and supply chain shocks are collapsing the gap between “operational risk” and “sustainability risk” whether companies are ready or not.In our conversation, you'll hear how sustainability momentum in the US has been driven less by regulation and more by investors and insurers. We break down why climate impacts like heat stress, flooding, and wildfires are no longer future scenarios but immediate safety and continuity risks. And you might be surprised to learn why throwing AI at messy ESG data only makes bad decisions faster.We also get practical. We talk about why EHS teams sit on a goldmine of data, how integrating safety and sustainability changes risk visibility at board level, and where most organisations go wrong when they try to “just start reporting”. From CSRD data overload to supply chain engagement failures, this episode cuts through the noise and focuses on decision architecture, not hype.

Der Wandel passiert meist schleichend: Schritt für Schritt untergraben Politiker und Parteien demokratische Institutionen. Und wenn sie damit fertig sind, ist von einer einstigen Demokratie meist nurmehr die Hülle übrig, sagt die Politikwissenschafterin Tamara Ehs. Dieser politische Wandel trifft für viele wohl gerade auf die USA zu – wobei US-Präsident Donald Trump laut Ehs im Vergleich zur Vergangenheit und zu anderen Machthabern die Demokratie aktuell sogar beachtlich schnell umbaut. Im Podcast "Edition Zukunft" spricht Ehs darüber, welche Versuchungen von "starken Männern" wie Donald Trump ausgeht, inwiefern eine Autokratisierung mit Krisen wie dem Ukrainekrieg und der Corona-Pandemie zusammenhängt, wie sich diese Entwicklung stoppen lässt und warum sich unsere Demokratien dafür wandeln müssen. **Hat Ihnen dieser Podcast gefallen?** Mit einem STANDARD-Abonnement können Sie unsere Arbeit unterstützen und mithelfen, Journalismus mit Haltung auch in Zukunft sicherzustellen.

What happens when the teacher becomes the student? Meet Stacy Dubin, an EHS leader whose journey began in the classroom as a middle and high school teacher, and evolved into an impressive career in industrial hygiene and safety. Stacy shares how creating hands-on lessons in toxicology and epidemiology sparked her move into EHS, the challenges of transitioning from teaching to industry, and how she leveraged project management skills to find her footing. She and Jill discuss why EHS professionals are “the ultimate influencers,” succeeding through relationships rather than authority, and how curiosity, reciprocity, and listening to employees help earn trust and drive real safety improvements. From integrating EHS into everyday operational conversations, to observing work and collaborating with supervisors to identify hazards, Stacy offers practical insights on influence and impact—along with her vision for building consistent, engaging global EHS frameworks rooted in authenticity and connection.The Culture MapPurchase The Culture Map on Amazon

Oil and gas companies are finally confronting the huge communications and stakeholder challenge they face with their asset owners and stakeholders. Production assets such as oil and gas wells almost always have many part owners (land owners, JV partners, interest-holders, trusts, first nations tribes). Managing these hundreds or thousands of parties across tens of thousands of wells is really demanding. These relationships are complex, sensitive and often layered with legacy ownership structures, royalty flows, regulatory demands and reputational risk. This is much more than an operational hassle. It's a brand and trust issue. When owners ask: "Where's my check?" or "What's this charge on my statement?", slow responses can damage goodwill, complicate legal compliance and create unnecessary risk. Companies try to manage but have often saddled themselves with dueling systems in the land department, operations, legal, and corporate communications.  I was delighted to learn about Firm App, a clever digital solution to this chaos, that was co-founded by two brothers, Deren Boyd and Dagen Boyd, and partner Josh Wright. Firm App was initially aimed at the legal profession, who also have many parties to manage, but the stakeholder problem in oil and gas turned out to be far more pressing.  Their purpose‑built platform delivers better and more responsive owner communications, stakeholder transparency and operational risk reduction. It uses AI to answer many routine enquiries freeing up scarce staff to focus on more important tickets. Owners see their relationship through a portal, and  companies even save on paper and postage.
