Reduce workplace accidents, improve safety awareness, and comply with regulations by providing training to your staff. These five tips lay out the basics you need to know to keep workers safe.
In this episode of Safety Shorts, host Emily Hargrove, NSSGA's Director of Occupational Safety and Health, welcomes Shea Davis, Regional Operations Manager for CDE USA, to discuss the evolution of safety training in the aggregates industry, particularly over NSSGA's 25-year history. Together, they explore the shift from passive, compliance-focused methods to today's interactive, real-world learning essential for engaging younger generations like Millennials and Gen Z. Shea also shares a personal injury story highlighting the critical need for proactive hazard identification and risk assessment tools like "Take 5" or "SLAM." In essence, today's episode emphasizes that modern, effective training goes beyond mere compliance to foster a strong safety culture, prevent accidents, and ensure vital safety knowledge is retained and applied in the field. Main Themes: Evolution of Training Generational Learning Styles The Impact of Inadequate Training Proactive Safety Checks Beyond Compliance Engagement and Retention Visible Felt Leadership (VFL) Future-Proofing the Industry Toolbox Talk Discussion Questions: Shea talks about the differences between his first training experience in the industry and the training new employees receive today. How have you noticed these trainings change? Shea had a lost time incident that could have been avoided if he had known to stop and assess the situation better. Why do you think it's important to take the time to work safely? Does anyone have a story they would like to share about training they wish they had received earlier in their career? Key Takeaways: "When I was preparing the guard I was told that we had to rush to get the plant up and running... Time was against me." "The grinder ended up catching a side piece of angle iron... which would not have been an issue if I had not repositioned the guard." "This resulted in a trip to the emergency room. I received several stitches, also a few days work. So now I had a lost time accident." "If I had known or been trained to do these small little exercises, this may not have happened at all." "But I don't know what I don't know if I'm not trained on it. So that's how I've seen training evolve over the years." "We, as safety professionals, we have a major responsibility to deliver quality safety content in ways that inexperienced people can retain that information." "Being able to provide the content is important to the younger generation of workers... because they're the ones that are going to drive our industry in the future." "Safety training matters beyond compliance. It's about saving lives and building better workplaces." Links: National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association website Shea Davis

From discussing mobile phone use while driving to the challenges of giving advice to older adults at risk of falls, this episode covers ChatGPT's responses to a wide range of safety topics - identifying biases, inconsistencies, and areas where ChatGPT aligns or falls short of expert advice. The broader implications of relying on ChatGPT for safety advice are examined carefully, especially in workplace settings. While ChatGPT often mirrors general lay understanding, it can overlook critical organizational responsibilities, potentially leading to oversimplified or erroneous advice. This episode underscores the importance of using AI-generated content cautiously, particularly in crafting workplace policies or addressing complex safety topics. By engaging with multiple evidence-based sources and consulting experts, organizations can better navigate the limitations of AI tools. Discussion Points:Drew and David discuss their own recent experience with generative AIThe multiple 15 authors are all experts, discussing the methods usedExamining the nine different question scenarios‘Mobile phone use while driving' resultsCrowd/crush safety adviceAdvice for preventing falls in older adultsAnalyzing ChatGPT response formatsExercising outdoors near traffic with asthmaQuestioning ChatGPT about how to engage a distressed person who may commit suicideSafety working ‘under high pressure' and job demands, burnout preventionLack of nuance in ChatGPTThe safety of sharing personal data on fitness apps, how can it be shared safely?Is it safe to operate heavy machinery when fatigued?

Quotes:“This is one of the first papers that I've seen that actually gives us sort of fair test of ChatGPT for a realistic safety application.” - Drew“I quite like the idea that they chose questions which may be something that a lay person or even a generalist safety practitioner might ask ChatGPT, and then they had an expert in that area to analyze the quality of the answer that was given.” - David“I really liked the way that this paper published the transcripts of all of those interactions with ChatGPT. So exactly what question the expert asked it, and exactly the transcript of what ChatGPT provided.”- David“In case anyone is wondering about the evidence based advice, if you think there is a nearby terrorist attack, chat GPT's answer is consistent with the latest empirical evidence, which is run. There they go on to say that the rest of the items are essentially the standard advice that police and emergency services give.” - Drew“[ChatGPT] seems to prioritize based on how frequently something appears rather than some sort of logical ordering or consideration of what would make sense.” - Drew“As a supplement to an expert, it's a good way of maybe finding things that you might not have considered.

A recent New York Times article shed light on how some fishing communities are grappling with opioid abuse and overdoses in fishing communities. Overdoses at sea are much more difficult to stop than on land. A program founded by Oregon State University in partnership with Oregon Sea Grant called “Fishermen First Aid and Safety Training” (FFAST) trains communities in general first aid including instructions on how to use Narcan, a drug used to rapidly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Upon completion of the training, boats are then supplied with a full first aid kit which includes Narcan. Angee Doerr, who works with fishing boats to implement these trainings, joins us to share more.

We examine whether a safe work environment truly enhances productivity and engagement or if it stifles business efficiency. Historical incidents like the Union Carbide disaster and BP's Deepwater Horizon blowout are analyzed to question if neglecting safety can still lead to profitability. Finally, we break down the misconception that good safety practices automatically translate to business profitability. We highlight the tangible benefits such as enhanced publicity, stronger client relationships, and improved employee satisfaction, and stress the importance of complex discussions about the actual costs vs. benefits of safety practices.The Paper's AbstractThis research addresses the fundamental question of whether providing a 15 safe workplace improves or hinders organizational survival, because there are conflicting predictions on the relationship between worker safety and organizational performance. The results, based on a unique longitudinal database covering over 100,000 organizations across 25 years in the U.S. state of Oregon, indicate that in general organizations that provide a safe workplace have significantly lower odds and 20 length of survival. Additionally, the organizations that would in general have better survival odds, benefit most from not providing a safe workplace. This suggests that relying on the market does not engender workplace safety.Discussion Points:Is safety “good for business”? Examining the relationship between safety and business viabilityBhopal and the costs, Occidental - you can still make money without safetyThe backgrounds and qualifications of the paper's authorsWorkplace safety can both benefit and hinder organizational survival due to productivity prioritization and potential risksWorkplace safety and business performance are complexly related, with a study showing a decrease in survival odds and length due to safety prioritizationSafety compliance at the lowest minimal cost may hinder productivity and divert attention from safety, leading to increased risksSafety is not inherently good for business; instead, it can bring tangible benefits like publicity, client relationships, and employee satisfactionStrict regulations and upfront investments in safety are necessary for fostering a safer work environment and ensuring business successTakeaways - Stop claiming safety is “good for business”The answer to our episode's question is, “So the short answer is on average, no. At least according to this study, businesses are more likely to survive in the short term and long term if they're hurting more people more seriously.”Quotes:“The sorts of things that you do to improve safety are the sorts of things that I thought should also improve productivity and reliability in the long run.” - David“Which is science, right? That's what it's about. We think we're right until we get a new piece of information and realize that maybe we weren't as right as we thought we were.” - David“Even though there is a reasonably high volume of research out there, it's really hard to look very directly at the question.”- Drew“So we know from this data that it's not true that providing a safe workplace makes you more competitive.” - DrewResources:The Paper: The Tension Between Worker Safety and Organization SurvivalThe Safety of Work PodcastThe Safety of Work on LinkedInFeedback@safetyofwork

And if you haven't seen this little clip, this guy was sleeping for a couple of hours. Over in the UK, wakes up, asks his neighbor, Hey, are we there yet? And she turns and says, no, we haven't left. We recently had that happen to us coming back from San Diego, where I took a nap, and I swear, it must have been an hour and a half later, we hadn't moved. And I don't, I think Rosemary, you've been on some really long flights too. Are you getting stuck on the ground for some of these flights? Rosemary Barnes: It is so annoying when you're stuck on the ground, like before you've got a, I don't know, an 18 hour flight or whatever to get stuck on the ground for hours. And you're like, we're not even, we're not even progressing. It's really hard to deal with mentally. But they do often make it up because obviously they can, they don't fly as fast as they can around the world all the time. They fly in the way that's most fuel, more fuel efficient. So sometimes they can burn a bit more fuel to get you there faster. If they, yeah, if there's an economic reason for them to they're going to have to, pay some penalties or hold a, of the next flight for people who are, yeah, need to transfer. Joel Saxum: You could have been on a flight like Allen and I were. Where, we were supposed to board at 4pm, we didn't end up boarding until 9pm, and then once we boarded, and everybody got settled down and we were ready to push back from the gate, then they informed us that the pilots had timed out on their daily time limit, so they Did we all off boarded and then had to get moved to flights the next day. Philip Totaro: I once fell asleep on a train in Switzerland that eventually led me to being escorted out of the country. It can happen. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.
