The Interesting Health & Safety Podcast

Have A Great Christmas

Colin is joined by special guest, Peter, who shares his unique background and career journey. Peter discusses his experiences in the army, police force, financial advising, and health and safety consultancy.

The conversation delves into the importance of data in safety management, the challenges of risk assessment, and the potential of technology to enhance safety practices. Peter also talks about his passion for the safety tech industry and his newly launched podcast focused on safety technology and innovation

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The discussion emphasises the need for thorough and effective risk assessments, focusing on identifying key hazards and implementing appropriate control measures.
The use of technology, such as AI and data analysis, is seen as a valuable tool in enhancing safety practices and identifying potential risks more effectively.
It’s vital to address health hazards in safety management, particularly in industries like construction where exposure to toxins and carcinogens can be significant.
Creating engaging and informative content, such as short videos, can help raise awareness about critical safety issues like silica dust exposure and promote better safety practices in the workplace.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think one of the things that we're not great at or that we've got a lot of work to do on is data and safety."

"I think a lot of our metrics, a lot of our KPIs need a little bit of work and how we measure data."

"I think there's something quite moral about that. I guess to conclude, what I'm trying to say is that when I've spoken to them, a lot of them have said, if you can help us analyse the data, we'll give it to you." 

"But what we can do is really, I suppose, have an audience that we can engage with you know and that's that for me is the most uh the most important bit and you know and and and if you know it's a small number of people but if they engage it's it's got to be right."

"I think, you know, having that involvement is really important, you know, and getting the community draws a community, doesn't it?" 

"I'm really looking forward to next year and seeing where it takes us, making it a well-rounded, beneficial environment for everyone."

The Safe Tribe

Colin shares his thoughts on a film he recently watched called "Killer" and how it relates to the field of health and safety. He discusses a line from the film that made him reflect on the importance of focusing on the actions taken before an event rather than solely blaming the individual or investigating the aftermath

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The damage in health and safety incidents is often caused in the time leading up to the event, rather than during the event itself.
Focusing on the successes and good work in health and safety on a daily basis can lead to greater overall success.
It is important to consider factors such as design, planning, budgeting, risk assessments, toolbox talks, and training before an event takes place.

BEST MOMENTS

"The damage isn't caused when the risk is at its highest. The damage is caused in the seconds, the minutes, hours, days, and weeks, and maybe months leading up to the event."

"The more you focus on the successes in your business, then the more successful you're going to be." 

"It's very, very easy to blame the individual. It's very, very easy to put the investigation on the event and what happened after."
