This week, we dive deep into an eye-opening conversation with I. David Daniels, PhD, CSD, VPS, founder/CEO of ID2 Solutions and fellow podcast host of Psych Health and Safety USA Podcast. As a veteran firefighter and now a seasoned occupational health and safety expert, David’s insight shines a powerful light on psychosocial safety. David shares deeply personal experiences, from facing life-or-death situations in the fire service to losing 30 colleagues, and how these tragic events shaped his understanding of psychological safety in the workplace. “The number one reason that fire rescue folks and EMS folks are losing their lives now is death by suicide… It's the culmination of psychosocial hazard exposure over the course of their life and career.” — Dr. I. David Daniels This conversation goes beyond the traditional view of safety, challenging us to think differently about how we protect workers' mental well-being, not just their physical health. Some other standouts for us - ▹ How psychosocial hazards are just as critical as physical safety for a company’s financial success ▹ How we must consider the environment and not only human behaviour, when looking at bringing change andt create a physically AND mentally safe workplace. ▹ The growing crisis of mental health and suicide in high-risk jobs much like it is for first responders Tune in to this powerful episode; safety truly starts with understanding the emotional and psychological risks that impact us all. And it begins with us. 🎧 Link in first comment below 👇 #healthandsafetytraining #hse #wecare #hseprofessionals #safetyculture #safetyfirst #safetytraining #safetyeducation #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #hseleaders #hseleadership #psychologicalsafety #psychosocialhazards Mousa Yassin

As you know, this week, we chatted with Melissa Mark-Joyce CMIOSH, CSP, MIIRSM from Smiths Group plc. From the start of her career to now, Melissa admits to have often been "one of a kind" "For most of my career, I was the only one of something. It was the only female, the only person of color, etc. And one of the good things is that it's changing." Melissa Mark-Joyce And this experience amongst others really fostered her passion and advocacy for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; recognising that whilst we also need to hire on merits, really bringing these values into the workplace, and especially inclusion, will have such an impact on the overall success of an organisation. We loved having Melissa share her insights and experience on the podcast and really encourage you to have a listen if you haven't yet.

This week, we’re joined by Melissa Mark-Joyce CMIOSH, CSP, MIIRSM, VP of HSE at Smiths Group plc Group, for a deep dive into health, safety, and leadership. With a career across multiple industries and working in very mature organisations like bp, her insights come with great experience. One of the key ideas Melissa shared is on the transition from compliance-driven safety to a proactive safety culture, where safety becomes a core value that shapes everything from employee well-being to business performance; it is about creating a culture where safety and well-being are prioritised and actively integrated into daily operations But the conversation is full of similar powerful learnings - ▹ Inclusion fuels progress - From diversity to inclusion, it is not only about ticking diversity boxes but rather ensuring that all voices are heard; which drives a more engaged and safer workplace. ▹ Lessons from the everyday - There’s value in learning from both successes and failures; everyday operations and lack of incidents can offer key insights too as well as should be celebrated. ▹ The power of leadership - A strong safety culture starts with leadership that prioritises employee well-being, beyond just compliance; they play a critical role in the cultural shift within organisations. “At the end of the day, we want to get our work done, we want to do well, but it's going to be the context the leaders set, the priorities they set. Do they hold safety as a value? That makes a difference.” Melissa Mark-Joyce Listen in for a thoughtful discussion embedded in defining experiences and curiosity within and outside the business. ! 🎧 Link in first comment below 👇 #healthandsafetytraining #hse #wecare #hseprofessionals #safetyculture #safetyfirst #safetytraining #safetyeducation #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #hseleaders #hseleadership Mousa Yassin

New week! New guest. Here's our latest episode featuring Simone Santos, the Global Head of HSE for ENERCON! This week, our episode has a unique and interesting focus: in industries relying greatly on contractors, their management in regards to health and safety comes with its own sets of challenges. And Simone’s journey from the construction industry to the renewables sector brings a fascinating set of insights into those distinct challenges. Simone discusses the complexities of ensuring safety and quality among a diverse workforce of subcontractors, the need to tackle the challenges around preparedness and training, and the importance of treating all site personnel with the same level of care and responsibility than any other employee. And we still get this recurring theme of a HSE function deeply anchored in care and empathy - "With any person on site, I don't make a distinction if they are employees of my company or are employees of the contractor. For me, it's the same. They are here. They are ours" - Simone Santos. It is a great episode! So tune in! 🎧 Link in first comment below ⇩

This week, we are excited to finally share the full episode with Dr Jennet Arshimova, Managing Director of NEW HSE- NEBOSH & Other Health and Safety Training. as we dived deep into what it truly takes to develop a strong health and safety culture within organisations. Jennet's journey from a medical doctor to a leading HSE consultant not only brings a unique set of insights but also a strong human-centric approach. One key takeaway? This is a hard one. But the power of vulnerability in leadership is our pick. Jennet emphasised that being a leader isn't about projecting invincibility; rather, it's about creating psychological safety. This means ▹ being open about our own limitations, ▹ asking for help when needed, ▹ and fostering an environment where team members feel safe to voice their concerns and embrace their authentic selves. "Vulnerability is about the ability to create a situation where I can be myself with you, knowing that you're not going to use my weaknesses against me in the future." - Dr Jennet Arshimova. Leading with vulnerability doesn't weaken your leadership; it strengthens it by building trust and fostering true collaboration. The journey towards a health and safety culture begins within. This one rings so true but the whole episode is full of those nuggets.
