Creating a Purpose-Driven Safety Environment

ReAudio: ReAssess Your Workers Comp Toolbox

With June marking National Safety Awareness Month, we are honored to have the Director of Risk Resources at Acrisure, Paul Bragenzer, share his invaluable insights on balancing safety and productivity. We dive deep into the cultural shift needed to make safety more than just a compliance issue. Hear how understanding the "why" behind safety practices and fostering meaningful relationships can lead to a safer work environment. We also highlight the role of purpose and values in creating a successful safety culture, drawing lessons from companies like Alcoa Aluminum. This episode is packed with real-life examples and expert advice, making it essential listening for anyone passionate about modern workplace safety.
Ever wondered how we evolved from the perilous work environments of the 1930s to today's stringent safety standards? In our latest episode, we explore this evolution through the captivating lens of Mike Rowe's experiences on "Dirty Jobs." Rowe provocatively argues that putting safety first can sometimes lead to dangerous complacency, emphasizing instead the power of personal responsibility. Listen as we recount his gripping story aboard a crab boat in the Bering Sea and discuss how he believes safety should be prioritized.
