Taking a role in a company is similar to the All Blacks philosophy on joining the team, where players "wear the jersey with pride". As Colin discusses in this week's show, we create legacies by taking such pride in the roles we are given.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
When we are given a role in any business, it's about making it your own, but also wearing that "jersey" with pride.
When you walk out into the field, you have a real chance to make a difference. Focus on the things that matter, and begin creating your legacy today

BEST MOMENTS

'Do something that will create a legacy'

'Start wearing it with pride'

The Interesting Health & Safety Podcast

Make Your Jersey Just A Little Bit Better

Colin reflects on the importance of maintaining a positive mindset in the field of health and safety. As he shares his experiences from the past year, he emphasises the need to shift the narrative from negative to positive, particularly in workplace discussions and risk assessments

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Encourage involving employees in the creation and review of risk assessments and safe systems of work. Their insights can lead to more effective and practical safety measures.


Promote journaling as a powerful method for individuals to express their thoughts and reflect on their experiences, which can help in managing stress and improving clarity.


Recognise the need to prioritise activities that bring joy and fulfilment, such as podcasting, and make a commitment to maintain consistency in these endeavours.

BEST MOMENTS

"We just try and challenge the thinking of people, probably in more of a management position, trying to develop some training and developing processes that really involve a lot of reflection."

"Whenever anybody says they haven't got time, they have. But what you've got to do is you've got to get it prioritised and get it moved back up the agenda."

"Can we actually start to talk about rather than saying what people can't do, actually saying this is what you can do?"

Let's Try And Talk A Bit More Positively

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."
