With World Mental Health Day approaching next week, today's episode features host Emily Hargrove, NSSGA's Director of Occupational Safety and Health, as she explores the critical link between mental health and workplace safety in the aggregates and mining industry. Highlighting how an individual's mental well-being directly impacts their ability to work safely, she reveals the ways in which stress and anxiety affect job performance and overall safety. Emily transparently shares her journey, details how exposure to serious incidents in her safety career impacted her mental state and led to burnout, and advocates for mental health as a core safety issue, not an "extra." She stresses normalizing discussions on mental well-being and seeking support via counseling or EAPs, as well as the vital role of leaders' in fostering a psychologically safe workplace. This episode reminds us all that every day, and especially World Mental Health Day, is the right day to champion a holistic approach to occupational safety to nurture both the body and mind of the workforce. Main Themes: Mental health is a core safety issue. Workplace stress impacts focus and job safety. Emily shares her personal safety career's mental toll. Normalize conversations on mental well-being and counseling. Utilize mental health resources like EAPs. Leaders must encourage mental health support. Foster a psychologically safe workplace for the "whole person." Insights for aggregates, mining, and industrial safety to improve safety culture. Toolbox Talk Discussion Questions: In this episode, Emily shares with the audience about how mental health is key to safety and health. How do you describe our company culture around mental health? Are there any areas for growth? Emily shares that during her career, working daily with materials about serious injuries and fatalities and STCKY (stuff that can kill you) started to impact her mental health. She was able to reach out and get support. Does everyone know how to access our Employee Assistance Program? Does anyone have a story they would like to share about mental health and how it can impact our daily work? Key Takeaways: "It shows up in their focus, their decision making and ultimately their safety on the job." "The risk of a mistake goes way up. And in this line of work, one small mistake can have very serious consequences." "That's why mental health is really a safety issue. It's not an extra or a soft topic. It's at the core of keeping people safe." "Everything became STCKY and it really had an impact on my mental well being and how I was walking around in the world." "I realized I needed some help. I needed an outlet to talk about and process those parts of my job and how it was affecting me." "We need to normalize, talking about counseling, about therapy, about needing outlets for help and support with our mental health." "We should feel comfortable checking in on how people are doing mentally, not just physically." "The strongest safety culture is one that takes care of the whole person because our people are our most important resource and supporting their mental health supports everything we do."

Chief Bryan Adams joins Dave to talk about fire safety in your home.
This episode dives into a critical article arguing that the diving industry too often fails to learn effectively from fatalities, not because of individual mistakes, but due to systemic shortcomings. It distinguishes between “first stories”, simple narratives that assign blame, and “second stories”, deeper explorations into context, drift from safety standards, and the normalisation of deviance.The tragic death of Linnea Mills is used as a case study, showing how multiple factors, equipment incompatibility, insufficient supervision, and the challenges of a remote location, aligned to create a disaster. Rather than focusing only on compliance or individual error, the article calls for a systems-based approach to safety: stronger feedback loops, better emergency preparedness, and a culture where speaking up about risks is encouraged.For divers, instructors, and responders, this also underscores the importance of effective pre-hospital care. Here are key resources:Divers Alert Network: First Aid & Emergency CareWHO: Prehospital Trauma Care SystemsNAEMT: Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS)EMS World: Best Practices in Prehospital CareBy combining systemic safety improvements with robust pre-hospital care readiness, the industry can better prepare for emergencies and reduce the likelihood of preventable tragedies.You can read the blog post here: https://www.thehumandiver.com/blog/we-don-t-learn-from-diving-fatalities-and-here-s-whyYou can contact Gareth Lock here: https://www.thehumandiver.com/contact-us-2025

Since 1994, the Washington Department of Transportation has operated a roadside memorial program that allows for the creation and installation of signs along state highways in honor of victims of fatal collisions. Washington was the first state in the nation to start a roadside memorial program, and there are now more than 1,000 signs posted along state highways bearing a message such as “Reckless Driving Costs Lives” or “Please Don’t Drink and Drive” above the name of a crash victim. Nearly 70% of the roughly 500 signs installed in the first 15 years of the program are still standing. The Columbian recently reported on WSDOT’s current efforts to collect public feedback about the future of its roadside memorial program and possible changes to it, such as limiting how long the signs can be up for and how often they can be renewed by family members. Kelly Moyer, a staff reporter at The Columbian, joins us for more details, including concerns that family members who had paid for memorial signs shared with her. We also hear from Sarah Risser, the treasurer and board member of the Portland chapter of the national nonprofit Families for Safe Streets. In 2019, while Risser was driving with her 18 year-old son in Wisconsin, a motorist crashed into the vehicle, killing her son and leaving her injured. Last year, Risser placed a sign honoring victims at every fatal crash site in Portland, and she has also created bike memorials at the request of families of cyclists killed on Portland roads.

Emily welcomes a familiar voice back to the podcast, Libby Pritchard, who is now the Senior Director of Sales and Business Development with Specialty Granules. Libby, formerly in a safety and health role with NSSGA, discusses her transition into a sales and business development position and how her perspective on being a safety leader has evolved. She shares powerful insights on how every employee, regardless of their title, can and should be a safety champion. Libby shares her initial feeling of leaving a piece of herself behind when "safety" was no longer in her job title. However, a pivotal conversation with her company's head of safety revealed a new perspective: a "non-safety person" advocating for safety has a unique and powerful influence. This episode explores how to embody safety in any role, the importance of personal stories, and practical strategies for building a robust safety culture where everyone is an active participant. Libby provides tangible examples, from making safety a part of performance goals to the impact of a sales team member actively engaging in refresher training, proving you don't need to be the conductor to lead the orchestra in safety. Main Themes: The transition from a formal safety role to a non-safety position. Embracing the principle that “everyone is a safety person.” How professionals in non-safety roles can powerfully influence an organization's safety culture. The power of personal stories and safety shares in making safety relatable and memorable. Practical strategies for integrating safety leadership into any job function. Building a culture where everyone feels empowered to contribute to safety. The concept of leading safety "from any seat in the orchestra." Toolbox Talk Discussion Questions: In this episode, Libby talks about her transition from a safety role to a sales and business development role. She was reassured that her new perspective carried weight, and she could still make a difference in the organization's safety culture. Why do you think it's important to include everyone's perspectives when it comes to safety? Libby shares about the way that industry professionals who aren't in traditional safety roles can engage with safety on a daily basis. Which of the examples that she shared was your favorite and why? Does anyone have a story they would like to share about how a “non-safety person's” perspective made them think differently about safety? Key Takeaways: "Everyone has a safety story. It's about learning and growing from experiences." "Safety is everyone's job. We can all make an impact, regardless of our role." "Being a 'non-safety' person gives you a unique influence on safety culture." "Safety stories teach better than regulations. Share real-life examples." "Challenge your team to have a safety goal. It builds a strong safety culture." "Talk about safety with customers. You never know where a great idea will come from." "Engaging in training as a non-safety person shows commitment and brings fresh energy." "You don't need to be a safety pro to lead in safety. Lead from any seat in the orchestra." "Safety can be part of any job. We can all make an impact, regardless of our job title."

Since its creation in 1975, MIOSHA has remained committed to protecting the safety and health of Michigan workers through education, outreach and enforcement. “For 50 years, MIOSHA has worked side by side with businesses and workers to keep people safe,” said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. “By going above and beyond to protect our workers, MIOSHA ensures that everyone can go home at the end of the day while helping our businesses continue to thrive. A strong economy starts with safe workplaces, and I'm proud of MIOSHA's role in creating opportunity and peace of mind for Michigan families.” MIOSHA is one of 22 states with federal OSHA-approved safety and health programs that cover both private and public sector workers. “For half a century, MIOSHA has been at the forefront of protecting Michigan workers by fostering safe and healthy workplaces,” said MIOSHA Director Bart Pickelman. "Our mission to ‘Protect the Health and Safety of Michigan Workers' remains as important today as it was when we began. This five decade milestone is a testament to the collaborative efforts of employers, employees and MIOSHA staff who share a commitment to safety and health.” A Legacy of Leadership Over five decades, MIOSHA has launched statewide initiatives and partnerships aimed at reducing workplace hazards and saving lives. Key achievements include: Helped reduce workplace fatalities: Fatalities dropped 65 percent, and injury and illness rates fell 66 percent since the 1970s. Advancing worker health and safety: MIOSHA's consultative services have helped thousands of businesses proactively address workplace hazards. State emphasis programs: Focused efforts have addressed serious risks such as fall hazards, excavation safety, heat exposure and silica. Training and education: Since 2007, the MIOSHA Training Institute (MTI) has trained more than 35,000 workers and employers with affordable, high-quality courses. Grants for safer workplaces: MIOSHA has awarded more than $12 million in grant funding to small and mid-sized employers to expand access to training and safety equipment. Cooperative programs: Partnerships such as the MIOSHA Alliance Program, the Michigan Voluntary Protection Program (MVPP) and the Michigan Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (MSHARP) have strengthened workplace safety cultures statewide. Looking Ahead As MIOSHA commemorates its 50th anniversary, the agency remains committed to evolving with the needs of Michigan's workforce. It will continue to innovate, expand outreach and strengthen collaborations with employers, workers and stakeholders. MIOSHA's motto is to “Educate Before We Regulate”.

Emily welcomes NSSGA's Senior Manager of Communications, Madalynn Habron to the podcast today for a discussion regarding critical water safety. Madalynn, a former lifeguard and swim instructor, shares insights on drowning prevention, the importance of swim lessons, recognizing distress signs, and how safety training principles extend from recreational activities to the aggregate industry workplace. Madalynn shares a personal near-drowning story, underscoring the need for constant vigilance around water. The discussion includes CDC child drowning statistics, the often quiet nature of drowning, and risks in shallow water. Listeners will gain practical advice on fencing, supervision, using PFDs, and adhering to safety protocols at aggregate facilities. A central theme is how robust safety training cultivates a lasting safety-conscious mindset, benefiting individuals and their families both at home and on the job. Main Themes: Maintaining active supervision around water. Drowning can happen quickly and silently. Swim lessons are vital for children and adults. Madalynn's story regarding the role of quick action and alertness in saving a toddler Using barriers and approved PFDs for added safety. Specific water safety protocols protect workers at aggregate sites. Consistent safety training builds instinctual, life-saving responses. Safety skills learned at work also protect loved ones at home. Toolbox Talk Discussion Questions: Madalynn talks about her experience as a lifeguard and how water safety has always been a part of her life. Why do you think it's important to teach safety lessons early, whether that's in life or professionally? Madalynn shares some ways in which we can keep safe while working around water. What are some critical controls for working around water at our site? Does anyone have a story they would like to share about water safety? Key Takeaways: "Drowning is quick and usually quiet. Recognizing this and acting can save lives." "Start swim lessons early. It's never too late to learn." "Be aware and prepared. Situations can change in an instant." "Train regularly. Reacting becomes second nature when you can fall back on training." "Training follows you home. Safety practices at work keep loved ones safe too." "Supervise children near water. Even a foot of water can be dangerous." "Follow lifeguard instructions. Parents should still supervise their children closely." "Less confident swimmers can wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation device." "Proper policies and procedures must be in place and adhered to around water." "Spending time in water is safe with early lessons and regular exposure to water safety."

In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Chris McCallum to discuss how primary care PTs are changing the landscape of “health coverage” by contracting directly with employers. The “Direct to Employer” model of care puts PTs on-site where the workers are and significantly reduces the need for self-insured employers to redirect care claims to health insurance companies. It's advantageous for the worker, the employer and the PT! And in my opinion, it's the direction that we MUST pursue in order to preserve our profession. Here's some of the links we discussed: How to find self-insured companies. Companies must file with the Department of Labor, so that is where you will find a list: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ebsa/employers-and-advisers/plan-administration-and-compliance/reporting-and-filing/form-5500 OSHA recordable data: search the BLS website for Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities to get an idea of employer injury rates. https://www.bls.gov/iif/ We talked about how to get paid by employers: Hourly rate model Service based pricing (FFS) Risk Sharing The On-Site Physical Therapist (book): https://us.amazon.com/Site-Physical-Therapist-Direct-Employer/dp/B0CJDDNGXK/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1VS47PGDOPKX5&keywords=isbn+979-8-218-18265-6&qid=1695568551&s=books&sprefix=isbn+979-8-218-18265-6,stripbooks,119&sr=1-1 Contact Info: chris@mccallumPT.com, www.mccallumIP.com

PART FOUR: EXPOSURE AND CONSEQUENCES At some point, reality catches up with delusion. For Chad and Lori, that moment came when their doomsday prophecy failed, the bodies were found, and the world demanded answers. This episode follows the unraveling of their belief system, from the moment their July 2020 doomsday prediction never came true to the mounting pressure from law enforcement and national media. Lori's chilling lack of emotion after her children disappeared and her refusal to cooperate with investigators only fueled the fire. Chad, once seen as a spiritual leader, suddenly found himself a fugitive, his so-called prophetic status crumbling under legal scrutiny. Through court testimonies, expert breakdowns, and official LDS responses, we explore how justice was finally served. Chad and Lori's religious justifications were torn apart in court, and their former followers turned against them. The trial exposed the full extent of their manipulation, their self-serving doctrine, and the horrifying reality of what they had done in the name of their so-called divine mission. This wasn't just a story about a crime—it was a case study in radicalization, cult psychology, and the dangers of unchecked belief. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
