Join us on the Safety View as Laurin Mooney, Rosa Antonia Carrillo and Tamara Parris host a special session on psychological safety. In the session we (our community) will be addressing several questions about psychological safety (PS). Is it an important aspect of workplace safety? What are the potential benefits of learning how to engender PS? What do we mean by PS? Have we addressed the downsides and limitations of PS so that we don't get blindsided by unintended consequences?Rosa and Tamara are both early adopters, (See Rosa’s 2016 article) but recently it seems to be everywhere and we fear it might be getting watered down and misinterpreted. We don't want it to become another "safety culture", where people use it to explain things that are not otherwise making sense to them. It seems that once we find a label we can check it off our list of worries. Is it just us, or are others sensing the same thing?&nbsp;This is a call for community members who have knowledge and strong opinions about the direction that the topic of psychological safety is taking.

Join us for a collaborative discussion on the next episode of Meet the Author with Brent Sutton, Glynis McCarthy, and Brent Robinson discussing “The Practice of Learning Teams: Learning and improving safety, quality and operational excellence.” with Gary Wong and Tamara Parris.A Learning Team encourages organizations to obtain and consider different perspectives and angles of functional diversity to define a problem in a group context. The different perspectives that emerge from a Learning Team group demonstrate that no one person holds all the knowledge needed to solve complex problems. Learning Teams support both worker learning and organizational learning by allowing the different stakeholders groups to understand better what, when, how, and why, people do things differently rather than following formal, written procedures or systems.

What is the role of mental health in organizational performance? Join as we discuss if this is the province of human resources, safety, or leadership lead by Rosa Carrillo. Come share your thoughts and learn from others. We will look at the latest findings on the state of well-being at work and recommendations. The International Labor Organization defines workplace wellbeing as it: “relates to all aspects of working life, from the quality and safety of the physical environment, to how workers feel about their work, their working environment, the climate at work and work organization. The aim of measures for workplace wellbeing are to complement OSH measures to make sure workers are safe, healthy, satisfied and engaged at work.”Mental health affects how we perceive, think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. It is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health is “a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.”More About “The Safety View”Each one-hour session is hosted by an expert or stakeholder in safety performance.

On this Safety View Rosa leads our session to discuss "The Myth of Crisis Leadership: a Practical Approach to Stress Management".Every day we are showered with articles and webinars on how to manage “return to work” the “new normal” or the upcoming economic crisis.&nbsp;They recommend creating psychological safety, paying attention to people’s emotions, practicing mindfulness and vulnerability. If you wait until a crisis to apply these practices it is too late.These are the leadership qualities and practices needed everyday. That’s how you develop the trust and open communication that you will need during crisis. That’s how you develop the skill to apply them when stress kicks in.We live in an increasingly hyper-connected, dynamic, rapidly changing world that has resulted in massive complexity. Per the Global Wellness Institute, most of the world’s 3.4 billion workers are unwell. &nbsp;They ranked the issues that employers across various sectors believed would have the most negative impact on productivity. &nbsp;Stress led the list of issues, reported by 72% of organizations.Let’s explore the way forward through relationship centered leadership and mindfulness. Let’s answer:What is the reality of our situation, and what needs to change?&nbsp;What outcome do we want - what would that look/feel like?&nbsp;What options do we have to start to make progress, and what can we commit to?&nbsp;How did it go? What should we try next?Each one-hour session is hosted by an expert or stakeholder in safety performance. And each session invites all attendees to participate, listen, and learn from each other and through conversation and shared experiences.

Lisa introduces, and invites us to explore an interesting safety conundrum: If absolutes and certainty are necessary conditions for safety, how do we sustain safety or even a sense of it, in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world? How do we explain the paradox inherent in our need of challenge and uncertainty (“unsafety”) to draw on and strengthen resilience?*&nbsp;* Resilience is defined here as the ability to progress, perform, and/or evolve in the presence of&nbsp;unstable and changing circumstances.&nbsp;Each one-hour session is hosted by an expert or stakeholder in safety performance.

In this episode Patrick chats with Andrew McNeil about the impact of noise-related legislation and the outcomes of recent court cases that are game changers in terms of managing noise at source.Andrew talks first about hearing, the function of listening and the incredible sensitivity of the human ear.Andrew describes the evolving regulatory framework for noise control in workplaces and the duty of care employers that employers are required to meet.We chat about cases studies where significant hearing loss was sustained from workplace exposures, including a unique case of acoustic shock syndrome, that resulted in a significant monetary award to the injured employee.Control of noise at source is a legislated requirement that employers need to be mindful of before PPE and other, less effective, controls are considered. Sound and vibration identification and damping technologies are advancing rapidly. These technologies are further sustained by a variety of consultancy and workplace analysis services that assist employers when investing in noise control methods.&nbsp;Andrew is Managing Director of McNeil Collective a new breed of health and safety consultancy.You’ll find more information about Andrew and his organization at www.McNeilcollective.comAndrew on Linkedin:&nbsp;https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-mcneil?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BRUggv7oKTxisQdGXgzX0oA%3D%3DResources for this episode:The Court of Appeal judgment in Goldsheider: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/goldscheider-v-roh-judgment.pdfThe Guardian news paper report on that: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2018/mar/28/viola-player-wins-royal-opera-house-case-for-hearing-damageThe European Union directive 2003/10/EC on noise: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32003L0010OSHA Technical Manual on noise: https://www.osha.gov/dts/osta/otm/new_noise/#standardsOSH Noise limits for Canada: https://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/phys_agents/exposure_can.htmlReally useful guidance on reducing noise at source from the UK Health and Safety Executive (that is also referred to in the OSHA Technical guide above): http://www.hse.gov.uk/noise/casestudies/soundsolutions/index.htmNoise limits in the UK: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/1643/regulation/4/madeSound Dead Steel that can be used to cut noise from impact or vibration of panels (amazing product): http://www.sounddeadsteel.com/Noise cancelling lightweight panels also amazing: https://www.sonobex.com/Motion Amplification Technology from RMS Ltd showing sources of vibration visually: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnHZ6A5N_E0Institute of Acoustics, real

Hypercompliance May be Damaging Your Safety Culture and Your Performance Workplaces that take a hard line when enforcing ‘safety absolutes’ may be undermining  worker safety. That’s the central premise of author, teacher and educator Dave Rebbitt’s article Hypercompliance: Too Much of a Good Thing? In this episode, Dave Rebbitt and I discuss things to be mindful about when this approach erodes the fundamental trust and support workers have for health and safety systems. First, Dave walks us down the path that led to the Hypercompliance phenomenon. We chat about the reality that unintended consequences can arise from good ideas and good faith assumptions about how the workplace operates. Through the podcast, Dave covers the influence of major thinkers and writers that have have influenced workplaces since the early 1900’s. We also chat about more contemporary safety management activities like auditing, behaviour-based safety and a systems approaches. Finally, we unpack the culture of ‘Zero’, the features of Hypercompliance and the significant downside of taking no prisoners when it comes to enforcement of safety rules.

And, uh, I’m always fascinated by the fact that a, there they’re still, there are, uh, deaths at that take place with that are fall related because when I was at alignment, I’d be climbing towers and poles and all that good stuff. And uh, you just didn’t hear about deaths. You didn’t, you hear about people falling in, in our fall. Protection of course was just a belt. And, uh, I, I’m, I’m always fascinated by this, but so if you go out to a Safeopedia once again, and you look at guides and you just sort of scroll down a little bit, construction falls, safety checklist, cool stuff. Get it. It’s a checklist. It’s already there. You...

Welcome to Safety With Purpose. Again, we’re going to be talking about safety stuff because safety is important at u as safety sherpas are important because you, you’re, you’re doing the heavy lifting, nice seat with the full backpack of safety. Stop climbing this mountain of success so that we could come home to our family, friends in what, what we want to do, because you safety sherpas are carried at the heavy load of safety. Stop. Okay. We’re going to be talking a little bit about hazards and dangers in this particular episode of safety with purpose podcast and of course it’s going to be with the Bryan McWhorter. He is our resident’s safety expert here at a safe, a pedia and safety with purpose and joy. Here we go. We have no time.[00:51]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Things are moving. Things need to be done. We need to be safe. You’re always at the cutting edge of keeping people safe and as such, we know we got to start out with our tailgate. Talk, tailgate, talk number one. Okay. I’m out here. I’d say for PD. Once again, I go to the Q and a section and I’m going to pull up what is hazardous atmosphere, which is just an interesting topic from my perspective. When I was alignment, we would go do some underground stuff. And then of course, the bottom line is we would always, always test for gases within, let’s say, underground faults. So this one is as specifically interesting to me. Now you got to go out there. There’s, there’s a lot of data associated with it, but, uh, nonetheless, it’s important. At worst, worst case, if you go down into a hole, if you go into an enclosed area, if you’re doing something that is, uh, has an a potential of being able and don’t take chances once again, right?[01:43]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don’t take chances, you can always test. There’s always tests. And if somebody says, Hey, get in there and it’s not tested, you do not get in there. You stand your ground and we’ll hear to back you up. So here, here’s just sort of in a, in accordance with OSHA, OSHA, hazardous atmosphere. Atmosphere is an atmosphere that may expose employees, you and us to the risk of death. Incapacitation, impairment of ability to self rescue injury or acute illness from one or more of the following causes of course, flammable gas, vapors, mis, you know, that exceeds 10% but once again, that is what this is out on Q and a right Q and a, what is the hazardous atmosphere need to go out to? Safeopedia it’s out there. Let’s get the details. Of course they’ve got the links that uh, will continue to be out there and make you a better knowledge about that.[02:38]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Number two. All right. And then another one would be...

Yeah, yeah. We have no time to waste cause you guys are out there keeping people safe. Like what am I supposed to do about that? All I can do is just keep going. Tailgate, talk number one.[00:55]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All right. I go out to Safeopedia once again, you’ve heard me talk about that. Uh, well, uh, a number of times and I go to the Q and a section because I always enjoy some of the questions out there. And once again, there’s no stupid question out there in the world of safety. There is no stupid question. Even if your kid comes to you and say, hey, blah, blah, blah, blah, even your child, no stupid questions, keep them safe and make sure that you answer them. And, and I always go to the Q and a section and, and uh, this is what a, I popped up because once again, keeping in the theme of heat and hot and all that fun stuff, what is some of the good ways to replenish electrolytes at work? I gotta tell you, man, I’ve been in some locations where it is just blistering hot.[01:36]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And if you’re not drinking, and if you’re not thinking about it, you’re always just sort of focused on the work and you’re gonna find yourself in a really nasty safety pickle. And, um, so anyway, I was, I was fascinated by this. And then of course there are three components associated with, uh, properly replenishing your electrolytes. And the number one of course is nutrition. Make sure that you’re eating, uh, the, the foods that’s rich and of course sodium, calcium, magnesium, all of the potassium, fruits and vegetables. It’s a, it’s a common sense. You gotta eat right? You’re gonna have to eat and eat, eat stuff. That’s a good, right. That makes sense. It’s, it’s common sense in that. Then of course, there are plenty of companies who provide, uh, electrolyte benefit, uh, beverages. I like Squincher and a, they’re out there and they provide a great product out there to drink and continue to...

So let’s get told, because we have no time to waste.[00:44]&nbsp;"]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We don’t. You guys are busy out there. Now I want to make sure you understand this is brought to you by those wonderful people at. Safeopedia. I’m telling you, if you got to save for Safeopedia.com and you say, Nah, I’ve got to figure out what to do with the PPE, I guarantee you they have the answers. So go out to Safeway. [inaudible] dot com and that’s where this particular podcast is located as well. But anyway, they got the answers for you. I’ll tell you that much. And they are passionate about safety as a, as you can imagine, their website’s great enough about safe Apulia. I could keep on talking and talking and talking, but before we get going, you know, we gotta do tailgate talk number one. We never start a podcast without a couple of tailgate talks. And what’s interesting, I just draw from Safeopedia and then I’ve, I’ve, I’ve always wondered, now this is interesting because I’ve got 30 plus years of industrial experience.[01:33]"]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I’ve taken the company public, I’ve done a lot of things and, and, and this Q and a section within safest PD is pretty cool. So I was, I was rooting around, looking around and, and then I found a, uh, a particular, uh, topic that is pretty interesting. Do workers need different respirations during a respirators during the summer months and, and, and I get RTI, I’m thinking to myself, okay, if it’s winter and I’ve got a respirator and, and I’m working around some a hazardous area, okay that’s fine. But then when it’s summertime, do I need to get something different? And I think in this particular article it gets right down to, uh, it’s hard to do that, right? It’s hard to find a different respirator that is really applicable to that same condition that you’re working in. But they did focus on, and this was brought to you by those wonderful people are presented by Honeywell in industrial safety and in sort of bottom line, if you have to have a respirator in the summer and knowing full well that uh, uh, you know, it’s, it’s hot, it’s humid, it’s sticky, whatever.[02:37]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They just recommend they recommend by the, uh, providing or getting something that’s a little lighter, which makes sense. I mean, you don’t want to start hauling...
