Podcasts about rebranding safety

TW - talk of sensitive topics, including suicide, abduction. Profanity also may be used.Following on from a conversation over dinner at the EHS Congress in Berlin, John joins James to pick up where they left off - how can we take what we've learnt in Risk Management and apply it to running our households? And does it work the other way - can we apply what we learn in parenting to the workplace? How do we prepare our children for becoming adults? This is a cracking conversation absolutely jam packed full of stories! Thank you, John, for joining us on Rebranding Safety.

Not to dwell on the past but....... Here's a conversation between James and Elisa Lynch

Join James and Peter where they chat about society and community and its relationship with work and safety. They discuss mental health, sharing mistakes and whether or not we need more 'community' as well as where/how we can find it - if at all......The question from one of our amazing listeners this week...Q: How can big organisations assist the companies who don't have proper safety management systems, particularly in African and Asian companies.Answer includes: Introspection, parameter setting, cohesive vs isolated decision making, think outside safety, and when you hear hooves, think horses not zebras!Do you need help with this stuff?

It's a mixed bag this week...... James and Peter discuss gamification and how in making the communication of safety fun, we can ingrain a stronger message. Also, what does it mean to work and how we can tie this to health and safety initiatives, plus a call to action: We're crowdsourcing problems! If you have a specific problem in the world of safety or risk management that you're trying to navigate/'hack' let us know. We can then use these as problem statements in any upcoming 'Hackathons' which is where we will put together an immersive workshop to try to find a solution to this problem. Drop us a line and maybe we can 'hack' your issue, and let us know if you'd be interested in coming along to the next one!

We're not necessarily talking about the people, the books, the podcasts etc...... but what examples from real life experiences have we taken and adapted to use in our roles as safety professionals? What have we pulled from our hobbies and past times? Our quirky interests? (holla Pete and his torches!) We big time get into gamification and how we use it to communicate a message, as well as critical thinking and being advocates for just 'trying shit!" Enjoy.....

Thank you to Dr. Andrew Sharman, author, Professor of Risk, Resilience and Safety Culture and CEO of RMS Switzerland, who joins us in this special live episode of Rebranding Safety. With James, Andrew talks about the success of the 2024 EHS Congress in Berlin, the new International Institute of Leadership and Safety Culture (IILSC) and the EHS congress coming to London in December 2024. Thanks again Andrew for joining us. Enjoy.....

James is joined by the wonderful Juliana Bley, psychologist, founder of SafetyLab and Ted X speaker. They discuss the importance of relationships within learning, and having strategies to apply the content you consume; "having the best technology with no educational plan surrounding it is merely entertainment". Juliana also talks about the Art of Hosting, a global community practising participatory leadership, collaborative practices, dialogue and more. Thank you, Juliana, for joining us on the podcast. Enjoy.....

A massive thank you to Jean-Christophe who joins us live from the EHS Congress in Berlin. Jean-Christophe is a distinguished researcher working at the National Institute for the Industrial Environment and Risks. His workshop, "How new is the 'new view' in safety?" blew us away at the Congress and he discusses this here today with James. Enjoy.....

We're so excited to publish this conversation between James and Sidney Dekker - professor, author, film maker, founder of the Safety Science Innovation Lab amongst many other accolades, Sidney gives his insights into the gap between 'safety as done' and 'safety as imagined', the 'tribalism' surrounding different safety approaches, and James somehow shoe-horns an conversation about Star Wars in there with no intended end point! Thank you to Sidney and to the organisers at the EHS Congress in Berlin for helping us to set up this conversation - definitely a career highlight. Enjoy.....

A massive thank you to Phil Clarke, Head of H&S at Care UK, who joins us on the podcast this week. Phil and James discuss fire safety in the care sector and the unique challenges that come with it, incident investigations and the challenges in making changes, the importance of community, building trust in your people, your systems and your buildings, competence vs confidence, and to educate or to train - that is the question! They also dive in to a question put forward by one of our amazing listeners. Enjoy...

In this episode, James and Peter reflect on what they've been up to, including The Health and Safety Event and the BFFF Conference, as well as answering a question from one of our listeners. This weeks discussion point from Terry Considine is... "I want more accountability and that starts with Occupational Safety and Health professionals, whilst we're in a field of 'come as you wish' so long as you a) Don't give me any bad news, and b) Are cheap as chips. More regulation of H&S advisors but the established institutions don't seem to want to rock the boat".

Join James and Peter in looking at those times as safety professionals, we didn't get it right........

Disclaimer: Profanity used throughout this episode Amy is the Founder of The Safe Tribe, a membership community for safety professionals, giving them a safe space to share ideas and gain confidence within the industry. With James, Amy talks about the reputation that the safety profession still has, safety being a scapegoat, the reasons we should focus on core skills, and why she wanted to set up The Safe Tribe, all of this along with discussing her experiences as an employee as well as a consultant. Thank you so much, Amy, for joining us. Enjoy...

Disclaimer - Profanity used throughout this video The survey results are in...... Thanks to everyone that completed our "Safety Professional - are you ok?" survey. The results were thought provoking, and in light of Blue Monday just passed (15th Jan) we share some of our thoughts here. We discuss the state of mental health surrounding the safety profession, how our sleep is affected, the challenges that exist relative to workload, loneliness and isolation, uncertainty, and prioritising our own ambitions. We give our thought on the notion that "good is expected", as well as the importance and power of networks, communities and peer to peer support, along with challenges between individual occupational groups and industry wide sharing. We'd also love you hear your thoughts - do you think it would be valuable to know more about actual issues and events as and when they're happening to trigger discussions on H&S topics, and how the consultant network can come together on this for the greater good of the profession?

Thank you to Chris who joins us for a second time on Rebranding Safety. Chris is an award-winning author and co-founder of Clearfield Group, guiding leaders through change and complexity. We catch up on the last 2 years and the landscape of complexity since his book 'Meltdown', co-authored by Andras Tilcsik, was released in 2018. We discuss leadership and 'the power of not knowing', implementing a culture and how it changes over time, being open and real about the levels of engagement and participation you're willing or able to take on, and the power of story telling. Enjoy, my fellow risk nerds..... (as coined by Chris!)

Disclaimer - Profanity used throughout this podcast. As safety professionals, we find it abhorrent that a person can lose their life at work, but as a society, do we accept that it's OK for a person to die at work in the name of progress - either economically, socially, technologically? We give our thoughts on this harrowing subject, citing figures from the ILO and HSE reports. We discuss modern slavery, forever chemicals, as well as the issues surrounding SSIP schemes. And, as a profession, who is advocating for us when it comes to the larger, societal safety issues and the significant long term chronic health impacts from things that safety teams/consultants aren't able to look at on a daily basis? What do we want to see from our professional bodies to ensure changes are made to ensure that the economic growth of our countries, and the world, isn't written in blood or the cognitive and behavioural impairment of generations yet to come?

It's been a mammoth year at Rebranding Safety - here's a little round up. We talk about LinkedIn royalty, Hackathons, not having the time to do new research, and obviously...... the Risk Fluent guidebook "How to Rebrand Safety Part 1". Look out for more great content coming your way in 2024!

Absolutely buzzing to introduce our new Senior Partner, Peter, who you'll all know from his quarterly co-host segment last year and his extensive networking in and around safety. James and Peter have know each other for a couple of years now, and in this episode, they discuss everything they're excited about for the future of Risk Fluent. Enjoy...

Check out the latest at Rebranding Safety, what's coming up, our new content structure and a massive thank you to all of our viewers and listeners for getting us to where we are now! Enjoy...

Steven is a safety and mental well-being speaker, as well as owner, MD and life coach at SkLifeCoachUK. Today he joins James, sharing the story of the accident he had at work and how it has affected his life and contributed to what he does today. They discuss the issues surrounding the reporting of the incident, emergency preparedness, mental health including PTSD, RAMS, CDM regs, competence and communication. Thanks so much, Steve, for chatting to James and sharing your story. Enjoy...

We're back with a banger! The wonderful Sunit Atwal, QHSE Manager at CBRE (GWS) EMEA, joins James for a chat about confidence, social anxieties, imposter syndrome, dressing for the part and how important networking is for building a successful career. Thanks Sunit for this awesome conversation. Enjoy.

In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with James MacPherson, the straight-talking host of the influential podcast and YouTube channel, ‘Rebranding Safety', who also recently founded his own consultancy, ‘Risk Fluent' (with his wife).In this unrestrained interview (with some colorful language), James leaves Safety professionals with no doubt about how the profession can improve itself.After describing his journey, he dives straight into his forthright views about Safety's image problem and the “bickering” about Safety theory.James is never afraid to challenge traditional approaches to Safety, but he also challenges the ‘labeling' of alternative views and clearly defines the role he'd like academics to play.He doesn't hold back in his damning assessments of Safety Associations and HSE training and shares his concerns about the prevalence and impact of “Trickle-down Safety'.James completes his passionate appraisal of the Safety world by urging EHS practitioners to embrace AI, focus on critical thinking and calm down!Find out more about James' work:Risk Fluent Ltd - Health, Safety and Culture consultantHis ‘Rebranding Safety' podcast and Youtube channel:Rebranding Safety on Apple PodcastsRebranding Safety | Podcast on SpotifyRebranding Safety - YouTubeJames highly recommends these other podcasts for Safety practitioners:The Safety of WorkPodcast - The World of Work ProjectCautionary Tales | Tim Harford…and the following books:The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and GrowthBy Amy EdmondsonRebel-IdeasBy Matthew SyedJames MacPherson on LinkedIn:James MacPherson | LinkedInSafety Labs is created by Slice, the only safety knife on the market with a finger-friendly® blade.

Tom joins us for this final installment of our psychological safety series. We get into real detail about Work as Done vs Work as Imagined, interpersonal relationships, social contracts and who the experts are when it comes to the hazards of work. We also answer some of your questions – is feeling safe to speak up the only measure of psychological safety? And, how can we encourage psychological safety between those from similar backgrounds and also between those from different backgrounds at the same time? Thanks so much to Tom for joining us for this series over the last few months – it's been both a blast and valuable at the same time. If you want to check out the work Tom is doing, check out his details below. Otherwise, enjoy this episode peeps.

A little update on what work we've been doing over the last few months. Risk Fluent have been doing a lot of transformational work with Safety Teams recently so I touch on that, my thoughts on the LinkedIn space right now, changes to the fire regulations and how that seems to be affecting demand, the challenges with Professional Indemnity insurance within the fire industry, influencer marketing and what safety work we should actually be doing. Enjoy.

Tom Geraghty is back with us this week hosting his second episode, continuing with our series on psychological safety. We discuss what we think psychological safety looks like in reality, taking the the academia and seeing how it translates within our businesses and our lives. We talk about the importance of motivation and clarity, the power and privilege surrounding it, human error, the knock on effects of banter, and tonnes more. Thanks so much again to Tom for another amazing and insightful conversation. Enjoy.

Thank you so much to Steve for joining us on the pod this week after we reflected on the article he'd written for Sentinel on another episode a few weeks back. His article "Organisational Risk: Predicting the unpredictable" for IIRSM's Sentinel Magazine was really refreshing to me. And now he's here with us in the flesh! Steve has an extensive background in economics, security, nuclear, risk, the list goes on, he's a very well-respected professional in our industry. We discuss the safety profession in general and it's perception, mature risk management, zero harm, the sharing of information, big corporations vs SMEs, the nature of trade associations, and loads more. Thanks again Steve. Absolutely cracking chat. Enjoy.

Bit late to the party but a little round up of our 2022, what we've been doing, what we're excited about and how we're moving forward into the coming year helping more businesses become Risk Fluent. Enjoy.

It's new Quarterly Co-Host time! So excited to have Tom with us for 3 cracking episodes all about psychological safety. Tom and his team at Psychsafety help organisations to be become more innovative, resilient and successful through their consulting, training and workshops. In this first episode, we dive into the basics - what is psychological safety? We chat about its origins, some big names within the field and examples of where things have gone wrong due to a lack of psychological safety. So get a cuppa and get stuck in, can't wait to bring you the rest of this series. Enjoy.

So grateful to Matt for joining us again on the pod this week. A prominent voice in fire safety, Matt gives us an insight into how and why he got into campaigning, recommendations from the Grenfell enquiry, how the government have managed the situation and a breakdown of those all important changes to the regulations with some key milestones for 2023. We also discuss the importance of having a management process in place to make sure building owners/managers know exactly what's required so that everything is kept up to date. There are some resources listed below. These sites really are the best for breaking down this stuff so please do use those and get in touch if you need help. Enjoy…

We're back! After a much needed break over the holidays, we're returning with this banger of an episode with Peter Jenkins, albeit a little later than planned! In this third and final episode in Peter's run as our quarterly co-host, we discuss the brand of safety; what's wrong with the contemporary brands of safety? What can we do about it? We talk about the commercial agendas within safety, the role of the consumer, the educational institutes, the awarding and accreditation bodies in branding safety. A massive thank you to Peter for hosting Rebranding Safety for the past quarter - it's been a blast. If you haven't already, go check out the previous two episodes linked below, they won't disappoint. And no, Peter still hasn't told me what his mysterious middle name is...... Enjoy.

Thank you so much to Liz for joining us on the pod this week. Management Consultant at One44 Complete Business Development, Liz delivers large scale, high priority projects including technological, people, regulatory and data driven transformational changes using various different approaches. With James, Liz discusses the degree to which safety is involved in project work, systems thinking and organisational culture, as well as 'clutter' or 'waste', the 3 C's (again!) and information visibility. Enjoy.

Excited to bring you episode 2 of this quarterly co-host segment with the amazing Peter Jenkins. Continuing our discussion on brand, and following on from our last episode about personal brand, this month we get into procedure and initiative branding - what is it? How do we brand safety via our processes and functions? Scalable approaches, and the difference between brand and identity. Thanks again to Peter for co-hosting this episode. Enjoy.

This week, we are joined by Founder and CEO of SolusGuard, Serese Selanders. We discuss her amazing journey and what drove her to forming SolusGuard as well as all things Lone Working, including how the concept has changed over the years, those who are at risk might not be who immediately spring to mind, the aesthetics of wearable safety aids and the affects of social media. Thank you Serese for joining us. Enjoy.

Author of "The Safety Salesman: Shoot From The Lip", Simon Jones takes his experience in the Police Force, specifically CID and with James, chats about selling something that no one wants to buy, safety first and Heinrich's Triangle among other concepts in the book. Thanks again, Simon, for joining us on the pod. Enjoy.

This week, having read the article written by Steven Harris for IIRSMs The Sentinel Magazine, titled "Organisational Risk: Predicting the unpredictable", James gives his thoughts. Side note - this podcast was recorded in early October, so any thoughts are based on the political situation at that time.

So excited to bring you the first of three amazing episodes with our new quarterly cohost - Peter Jenkins, Group H&S Manager at Dalziel. Peter introduces the running theme perfectly in this episode, but ultimately we're taking a massive dive into the concept of BRAND - your personal brand, the brand of your programmes or projects, and the brand of the safety profession. In this episode on personal brand, we ask the big questions like; who are you? Who am I to you? Why it's important, and so much more. Thanks, Peter, for being our cohost. Enjoy.

Thanks to Ronan from 'spacebands' who joins me to talk about how they developed a social distancing tool, which they had to do a 180 on when the rules no longer applied. Fascinating story of how to keep your product relevant and how wearable safety can change how we work. Enjoy.

Jules Reed is a Behavioural Scientist, working to bring psychology and technology together to help make us safer at work. We talk about culture, socially acceptable behaviours, professional integrity, nudge theory and other ways to influence a team. Thank you Jules for joining me this week.

The comings and goings of a safety consultant. This week, I chat about the launch of The Health and Safety Network, and the importance of having an ethical framework.

James and Sam Goodman AKA The HOP Nerd have a quick fire session about the challenges of implementing HOP with SME's. This was an episode that Sam has put out on The HOP Nerd Podcast - thanks so much for having me on Sam!

Gutted that it's the last episode Pete will be joining us as our quarterly co-host. It's been so informative and a great laugh, so thank you to him and hopefully we'll be hearing more from Pete in the future. For this last episode, we're joined by his fellow Fleet Geeks! With Mike and Jamie, we talk about why they joined Flagship Partners and started the podcast, and the challenges they see on a daily basis within the fleet industry. Enjoy.

Thanks so much to Vince for coming on the pod to talk to us about his career, The Hazards Campaign, his experience and knowledge of silicosis, and how as a profession, safety has a long way to go before we put people before profit. This one's an eye-opener. Enjoy.

The comings and goings of a safety consultant.

Thanks to Michael for joining us on the pod for a second time. In another episode where we view how theory has been put into practice, Michael takes us through his experience of practically applying 'new view' theories within the utilities and energy sector and navigating a complex and fast-paced industry with complex regulations. We discuss Safety Differently and Safety II, learning teams, the role of the HSE professional, clutter and the intent of a safety system. Enjoy.

Pete is back with us again for his second episode as our quarter 3 co-host! This episode in the series on fleet safety focuses on Transport Managers. Making comparisons to the safety industry, Pete and James explore the role of a Transport Manager, they discuss the pathways to qualifying, soft skills, CPD, compliance vs cash, plus too much banter about hairstyles and beards to note! Enjoy.

In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with Josh Bryant, a General Manager of People, Risk and Sustainability who's worked in the mining industry for over 20 years and implemented an award-winning critical risk management system.Josh has always been open to different workplace safety frameworks and uses scientific reasoning to decide which elements to adopt or reject. He's not tied to any particular theory, and gives HSE professionals a great overview of his journey of exploration, combining different approaches to safety management.There are a lot of safety theories, frameworks and ideas, and it can be confusing for EHS professionals looking to implement the best solutions for their organization. Josh demystifies Safety-I, Safety-II, Safety Differently and Human and Organisational Performance (HOP). He explains how these approaches can be combined and tells us why he came to focus on critical risk management.Josh maintains that flexibility and curiosity are crucial qualities for HSE professionals who should always practice humble inquiry regardless of your approach to workplace safety.Josh Bryant on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshbryant1Books recommended by Josh:The Field Guide to Understanding 'Human Error' by Sidney Dekker:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Field-Guide-Understanding-Human-Error/dp/1472439058Workplace Fatalities by Todd Conklin:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Workplace-Fatalities-Discussion-Fatality-Reduction/dp/1546979654Bob's Guide to Operational Learning by  Bob Edwards and Andrea Baker:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bobs-Guide-Operational-Learning-Organizational/dp/B08QRYT5QNPodcasts recommended by Josh:PreAccident Investigation:https://preaccidentpodcast.podbean.com/The Safety of Work:https://safetyofwork.com/Rebranding Safety:https://podcasts.bcast.fm/rebranding-safetySafety on Taphttps://www.safetyontap.com/episodes/Safety Labs is created by Slice, the only safety knife on the market with a finger-friendly® blade.

James gives his thoughts on two recent news stories: "1 in 4 unsafe London buildings have non-cladding related fire safety issues" and "Starbucks to Close Stores over Safety Concerns". This chat touches on many things including; safety being a branding game, the absence of accidents and the presence of safety, and is stay-put safe? Naturally, this turns into a bit of a rant.....

Thank you to Tiffany from Safety Culture for joining us on the pod this week. We talk about blame culture, and re-categorising accidents to avoid poor statistics, along with the solution to these, including celebrating improvements in safety using mobile-first technology. Enjoy.

So glad to finally publish this episode with Sonny. We had a few technical issues the first time we recorded but we went in for round 2, talking all about his amazing journey to publishing the industry guidance alongside a team of other experts. We discuss why there was a need for a new piece of guidance, the anxieties and challenges around fire alarms and the distress they can cause, and the suitability of alarm systems for the buildings in which they are fitted. So excited to see what the future holds for Sonny, and so grateful to him for joining us on the pod. Enjoy.
