We share a lot of success stories here on the ISO Show, along with hints, tips and updates to Standards, including insights from our consultants who work with Standards day in and day out. In our latest mini-series, we're taking a step back to introduce members of our team, to explore how they fell into the world of ISO and discuss the common challenges they face while helping clients achieve ISO certification. In this episode we introduce Darren Morrow, a Senior Consultant at Blackmores, to learn about his journey towards becoming an ISO Consultant and what drives him to help clients on their ISO journey. You'll learn · What is Darren's role at Blackmores? · What does Darren enjoy outside of consultancy? · What path did Darren take to become an ISO Consultant? · What is the biggest challenge he's faced when implementing ISO Standards? · What is Darren's biggest achievement? Resources · Isologyhub · Engagement Amplifier Gameplan In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Episode Summary – We introduce Darren Morrow, a Senior Consultant here at Blackmores, to discuss his journey towards becoming an ISO consultant who specialises in ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001. [03:45] What is Darren's role at Blackmores? Darren is a Senior Consultant with Blackmores, supporting companies with maintaining systems, undertaking internal audits, and supporting with implementing new systems to gain certification. A key part of his role is translating ISO Standards into plain English, and guides clients on how to apply them in practice. [04:55] What does Darren enjoy doing outside of consultancy?: Darren moved to Norfolk back in 2021 ans has since found the relaxed way of life there to be a great fit. It also offers a lot of good walking opportunities for his 2 Leonberger's (giant breed dogs), who mostly enjoy the local parks and beach walks. Darren is also an avid reader, clocking in a whopping 343 weeks' worth of reading on his kindle. His favourite genres include:- · Crime, thriller, adventure types - Clive Cussler, Michael Connelly, David Baldacci, CJ Box, Dan Brown, James Carol · Horror - James Herbert, Stephen King · Supernatural, urban fantasy, fantasy - Ben Aaronvitch, Jim Butcher, Raymond E Feist, C S Lewis & Tolkien · Historical - CJ Sansom, SJ Parris · And Terry Pratchett for a weird dose of reality. He's also a movie buff, with a collection of over 1,000 films ranging from the 1930's all the way to modern era. Recently he took on the challenge of watching all the Marvel films in chronological order, which took a few weeks! [10:35] What was Darren's path towards becoming an ISO Consultant?: Before Blackmores, Darren was the Quality Manager for a company that worked within the Highways Maintenance sector, working there for 8 years. For the first 18 months he was primarily the Quality Manager for a specific contract on the Olympic Park, as that contract came to an end, he moved into the main company Quality Manager role supporting multiple highway term maintenance contracts along with various smaller projects that the business won. Prior to that, he was a SHEQ Advisor within the Rail industry, working for a signaling company. Darren worked there for about 5 years, within head office support roles for quality and health and safety, moving to working on supporting the project teams and project delivery for signaling schemes. Overall, looking back, he's worked with standards within a quality, health & safety, environmental for around 25 years now. [13:20] What is Darren's favourite aspect of being a Consultant? – Darren likes the variety. As an ISO Consultant, he gets to work with lots of different people, companies and industries, so he gets to learn a lot about how they work and how Standards apply to different industries. He also enjoys the fact that after working with clients for a number of years, he becomes just another member of the team. [15:15] What Standards does Darren specilaise in and why? Starting with: · ISO 9001 Quality: This is the main standard that Darren starting working with back in 1999 · ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety: While working within rail, Darren was given the opportunity to do some training and proceeded to complete NEBOSH courses - general and construction, this proved invaluable in future roles. · ISO 14001 Environmental: Darren ended up working with this Standard as part of on-going development. His role as a Quality Manager expanded, and at the time, all external audits with our certification body were coordinated through him. So, for on-going development he completed the NEBOSH environmental managed certificate. · ISO 50001 Energy Management: This is one of Darren's favourites. He's taken on this standard since working with Blackmores and seemed like a natural progression with the work he was already doing. He likes how this standard helps companies think more about their impacts on the environment in terms of energy consumption. In terms of companies climate change impacts, Darren likes how ISO 50001 can support deep dives into data that is available or not clearly available in many cases to support improvement and reduction in energy consumption. This also can pave the way for those companies that take it more seriously, and progress to newer standards like ISO14064-1 for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gases, but also part 3 for the verification and validation of greenhouse gases. This is where our sister company, Carbonology Ltd, really excel. Darren does his bit with ISO 50001 clients to educate and prepare them for taking more proactive steps towards meaningful energy and carbon reporting. For example, if they grow sufficiently or fall within the parameters of mandatory schemes such as ESOS or SECR reporting, or they just want to do their bit and demonstrate their commitment to minimising their impact on the environment and overall energy consumption. [23:10] What is the biggest challenge Darren had faced during a project and how did he overcome it?: He doesn't have a single one that stands out, but common issues are usually either down to availability or commitment of the individuals within the company he's supporting. For example, the company may decide that they require certification to a standard or multiple standards. There will be commitment from some within the business, and there are those that may not see the importance or feel it's not important to them and what they do. Darren's job is to support the company in achieving its main goal in gaining certification. His work with the company involved explaining what is to be done and why. He's found that most of any resistance is because individuals do not know the why and how it impacts them, etc. The other aspect is to make it clear that he is not there to tell them what to do, or that they're doing it wrong. He works with people to either document the process (where required), help them find improvement in the process and continue to search for improvement. [27:00] What is Darren's proudest achievement? Darren states that there's no one definitive achievement to highlight, rather he would say supporting clients who are new to the standards. Working with them and providing knowledge so that they know the 'why' and understand the standards and their processes, and finally seeing the end result with being recommended for certification. The ones that he's particularly happy with are those that go for multiple standards, that result in recommendation for certification with little or no significant findings from the certification body, it shows that the company has been fully engaged and embedded the overall process into how they work.

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
A conversation about wellness, sustainability, and restoring your purpose in medicine. This episode is an invitation to reframe how we view our role in medicine. We emphasize long-term well-being over short-term fixes and prioritizing the human side of medicine. We share practical tools for rekindling your passion and calibrating your energy. Dr. Linda Hawes Clever is the founding President of RENEW, a nonprofit dedicated to helping healthcare professionals, especially doctors, maintain and regain their enthusiasm, effectiveness, and sense of purpose. Dr. Hawes Clever has spent decades advocating for physician well-being. In this conversation, she shares valuable insights on how we can renew, refresh, and recalibrate for greater sustainability in our work and lives. Dr. Hawes Clever earned her medical degrees from Stanford University and has held numerous distinguished positions, including Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCSF, Associate Dean at Stanford, and founding Chair of Occupational Health at California Pacific Medical Center. She is an active member of the National Academy of Medicine and has received multiple prestigious awards, including the American Medical Women's Association Elizabeth Blackwell Award, the Stanford Medal for extraordinary service to the university, the ACP AlbertStengel Award for Service and Achievement, and the California Medical Association's Nye Award for her contributions to physician health and well-being. When Dr Clever and I were trained I medicine, we were told we should focus our attention exclusively on patient care and stay out of politics and systems. We encourage you to broaden your perspective. Physician Wellness is art, science, and business. It is an opportunity. This mindset shift allows you to approach challenges with curiosity and openness, leading to new and creative solutions for sustaining well-being. Conversation, connection, and renewal are essential. Friendship and human connection can be life-saving. This is why small group coaching, retreats, and ongoing communities of support are so critical for physician wellness and sustainability. Memorable moments: Physician wellness is a value, not a problem. When we treat it as a value, we create opportunities instead of obstacles. Friendship is a life-saving relationship. We're not meant to navigate life's challenges alone. Wellness doesn't have to be complicated—it starts with connection, conversation, and curiosity. We tend to listen to respond, rather than listen to understand. Imagine the change if we simply paused and truly heard one another. Which balls are rubber and which are glass? Knowing the difference can prevent exhaustion and help us prioritize what truly matters. No mud, no lotus. Sometimes our most beautiful transformations come from the messiest moments. Patients want their doctors to be well. The best care comes from those who have the energy and capacity to give it. We are allowed to see ourselves with the same compassion we show our patients. Doctors are human too. Burnout isn't just an individual issue—it's a systemic one. But real change starts with small, human moments of connection and renewal. Curiosity is the source of discovery, adventure, and even joy. If you've lost your curiosity, it might be time to renew. Dr. Clever's work at RENEW focuses on bringing health to those who give health, helping medical professionals regain their passion and sense of purpose. She believes that by learning to listen, connect, and prioritize our well-being, we can create a more sustainable and fulfilling career in healthcare. RENEW: www.renewnow.org. Follow RENEW on Instagram: @renew_now_org. The Fatigue Prescription: Four Steps to Renewing Your Energy, Health, and Life, is Dr. Hawes Clever's book. It includes valuable insights for those feeling overwhelmed by the demands of juggling too many responsibilities. If you are juggling too many responsibilities, consider joining a community of support at Pause & Presence.

On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, IHSA's Deb Moskal and Doug Heintz discuss the role of health and safety representatives (HSRs) in Ontario small businesses. Deb and Doug explain when a workplace requires a health and safety representative, how they are selected, and their functions according to workplace health and safety legislation.There are similarities between federal and provincial legislation regarding health and safety representatives, but there are also differences. Within provincial legislation, a health and safety representative is required in a workplace with six to 19 employees, with no requirement for a joint health and safety committee (JHSC). From a federal perspective, a health and safety representative is required for less than 20 employees in a workplace, with additional requirements depending on the nature of the work.The process for selecting and electing a health and safety representative is the same for both provincial and federal legislation. The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) does not set specific formal qualifications or certifications for a health and safety representative, but there are several key requirements:· The individual must be a worker at the workplace, but not an employer, supervisor, or manager.· They are typically elected by workers through an open and transparent election process.· They must be willing to learn about health and safety issues, regulations, and workplace hazards.The duties of a health and safety representative include, but are not limited to, identifying any actual or potential workplace hazards, inspecting the workplace at least once a month, and making recommendations to the employer about health and safety concerns or initiatives.

Jeff and Nikki join us "on air" to share important information about mental health and measures we can take to help ourselves and others as the Holiday season approaches. Jeff founded Rural Minds as a result of a family tragedy and he is dedicating his energies to connecting rural Americans to much needed mental health services and helping them tell personal stories to assist others on similar journeys. Nikki has over 27 years of Occupational Health experience and she is now responsible for Pfizer health and wellness employees, globally. Some of the mental health statistics they share are shocking, and an indication that a "call to action" is needed.For example, were you aware that according to the National Alliance on Mental Health, an estimated 6,387,811 people residing in Florida live in communities that do not have enough mental health care professionals? Listen in and learn about some of the stressors in life that can cause a level of unease that in some cases result in a need for assistance or treatment. The takeaway is... do not be afraid to reach out for help personally... or to anyone who you feel can use a helping hand through a difficult time in their life. This message is not just for the holidays folks...this is for everyday life as well.It was a gift for us to have two of our nation's mental health experts on our show and we are committed to having Jeff and Nikki back soon, as they have much more knowledge to share. Don't forget folks, the National Hotline number for you, or someone you know, who is experiencing suicidal thoughts or emotional distress is 988. This allows access to a 24/7 support system.If there is a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room for help.Support the show

After her career in Occupational Therapy, Fiona became interested in primary prevention of workplace injury. She pursued post-graduate studies in Ergonomics , Safety and Health and Latrobe University. Since then, Fiona has worked in Safety and Wellbeing roles in Government, Higher Education and Health and Aged Care. she hold accreditation as a certified OHS professional and is a full member of the Human Factors Society of Australia. In this conversation Fiona tells me more about her career trajectory leading to the work she does now consulting in job design, workflow and assisting workplaces with a proactive and primary prevention based approach to psychosocial safety. The core part of this episode focusses on psychosocial hazards and risk, what we mean by these terms and why this matters. Fiona breaks down her approach with some real world examples and very practical pearls. In particular she shares an example of excellent proactive practice in Tasmanian Bakeries, which was a finalist in this year's AIHS awards for best WHS Health and Wellbeing Program.

Dive into Episode #121 of the Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast, featuring host Dr. I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, and special guest Cipriano Belser, the Executive Director of the Southern California Council for Occupational Safety and Health (SoCalCOSH). Mr. Belser shares his experience as a low-wage worker who transitioned into Occupational Health and Safety and his role with SoCalCOSH, which advocates for the health and safety of workers who are exposed to a variety of psychosocial and physical hazards. Low-wage workers often face several safety issues that can significantly impact their health and well-being. One of the primary concerns is hazardous working conditions. Many low-wage jobs are in construction, agriculture, and food service industries, where workers are exposed to dangerous equipment, chemicals, and environments. Another critical issue is the need for proper training. Employers are required to provide adequate training on safety protocols, but they sometimes fail to do so, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. Inadequate safety equipment is also a common problem. Workers might lack access to protective gear, such as gloves, helmets, or masks, which can lead to injuries or long-term health issues. These safety issues disproportionately impact vulnerable groups, including women, people of color, and immigrants. These groups are more likely to be in low-wage jobs and face these safety challenges at higher rates.

WARNING - EXTREME CONTENTIf you are effected by this podcast and need help please reach out to one of the brilliant organisations such as Samaritans or PTSD999Mick Baker was born in Kent and from an early age he wanted to join the Army. He went on to become a soldier and joined the Royal Army Medical Corp and went to training in Lichfield. He inadvertently became top recruit due to a negligent discharge by a colleague.He was based in Aldershot and his experience was full on. His medical training set him up for life. He transferred from the RAMC to the Royal Military Police and was immediately posted to Northern Ireland with 176 Provost Comp. At the conclusion of his tour to Northern Ireland he was posted to Colchester to serve 156 Provost Company and the larger-than-life Staff Sgt Sam Appleyard. Having arrived in Colchester he served with Staff Sgt Sam Appleyard and remembers L/Cpl Paul Lon who was killed in action.At the conclusion of his service Mick joined Hertfordshire Police and served in Hitchin and the regime was very structured and standards were very important to him and the rest of the team. During a fit of peak Mick walked away from the job and went travelling !Having run out of money he returned to the UK and whilst driving through Hertfordshire he decided to call into the headquarters and ask for his old job back. Unbelievably they took him back into the fold. Mick thrived on proactive operations and formed a relationship with members of the British Transport Police whilst conducting operations at the local train stations. He transferred to the BTP and started at Kings Cross. As an officer Mick was one of many who dealt people who died by suicide.He recounts a tragic time in Cyprus when he was called to a head on RTC where the occupants of the vehicles were seriously injured and resulted in fatalities. He felt that he had failed at the scene( which he hadn't). and was advised that he was too emotionally attached to the incident. This advice assisted through his career until the emotional baggage became too overwhelming.Mick was having issues in the workplace that meant he went off sick. He found the senior management of BTP and Occupational Health as being underwhelming. He was accused of working outside of the job and the bullying tactics got the better of him. Mick has now retired and undertakes medical training including FREC 3 training and would welcome a meeting with the senior management from BTP Hosted on Acast.

Alec Baldwin involuntary Manslaughter trial to begin in New Mexico. A New Mexico judge has ruled that actor Alec Baldwin's indictment will stand in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of his film Rust. In an order on Friday, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer turned down a motion by Baldwin's attorneys to dismiss the indictment. Baldwin therefore remains scheduled to go on trial in July for involuntary manslaughter. Nearly three years ago, during a rehearsal for a scene in the Western movie on a ranch outside Santa Fe, Baldwin was holding the prop gun that had been loaded with live ammunition. The Colt .45 revolver went off, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin, who was also a producer for the film, pleaded not guilty, and has maintained he was not responsible for Hutchins' death. Shortly after the shooting, he told ABC News he had "no idea" how a live bullet got onto the set of his film, but that he "didn't pull the trigger." In March, a jury found the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, guilty of involuntary manslaughter and negligent use of a firearm. She's now serving an 18-month prison sentence. The New Mexico Environment Department's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau issued a citation against Rust Movie Productions and fined them for failures that led to Hutchins' "avoidable death."
