In this episode, Ted is joined by James Boretti and Brad Herda, where they discuss why safety is important in terms of it touching every aspect of a business, from those working on construction sites to those in the office.They talk about the fact that marketing safety can be challenging, but that it is essential to remind business leaders of the significance of the subject. When interacting with employees on the shop floor, it is essential for office personnel to remember to respect their skill and knowledge, especially those who are doing potentially unsafe work. It is important for safety professionals to bring out the knowledge that workers already have to create a safe environment. Businesses need to properly incentivize their employees to encourage them to question and come up with better, safer ways of doing things. They explain how businesses should align their safety efforts with their business metrics in order to improve overall profitability. Listen to learn how reducing injuries at a company while it is experiencing rapid growth can be considered a great success and why setting expectations and understanding each individual's motivator is critical in creating a culture of success.
