#Grateful for the discussion with Heather MacDougall, Esq. and CSP and Trever Neuroth, JD, ASP on the current state of comings and goings of legal #EHS. NexusHSE is fortunate and thankful for their partnership. We discussed the pros and cons of a federal workable heat stress standard, the impacts of Loper and maybe a future Auer, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Security Exchange Commission (SEC) rules, what physical therapy may be under the recent Occupational Safety and Health Administration memo, and many other topics. It was great one on one Q and A. "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with - Jim Rohn" is what John Fischer said during the session beginning and we had some really talented people participate! We appreciate his moderation, and he kept the conversation on such a relatable level. Thank you John. Our EHS Legal IQ went way 📈 - all thanks to our presenters and attendees! These are collaborations we hope you won't miss. We believe these NexusHSE discussions and opportunities don't exist which is why we created the company in the first place 😁

💡 ⁉ Illuminati ⁉ 💡 Not sure about that .... but sharing is the reason we created NexusHSE and we are humbled by the comments from Jason Kunz and Perry Logan during the recent My Big Safety Challenge Board of Certified Safety Professionals about our former roles. If you want to learn more about how we are connecting leading companies to collaborate and humbly share / learn EHS, drop us a line and let us be of service. (www.nexushse.com) Stay tuned for a "hold the date" for our September 25th Collaboration Community (C2) highlighting "how to" eliminate and reduce significant injuries and fatalities with successful companies both large and small. No lectures just open discussions with time for all your questions. We would love to have you and your curiosity. #keeplearning #improvementalways #humility #EHS Video Credit - BCSP and My Big Safety Challenge via YouTube

As we celebrate #LaborDay at NexusHSE, we reflect on the economic and societal achievements of American workers past and present. This holiday was created when labor activists pushed to be recognized for the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and well-being. Let us not forget those drivers to the country's well-being and the #safety necessary to sustain our workforce excellence. "“Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." - Theodore Roosevelt #HappyLaborDay from NexusHSE

Good to know the right people...that's what NexusHSE is all about. Collaboration is key!

🙁 As turmoil exists 📉 in the marketplace, how can EHS leaders prepare for a visit from management consultant "friends"? Here are 3 points to consider now 👇 Organizations get pressure to quickly respond when markets or reports fluctuate (inflation, geopolitical/global disruption). This leads to a call for external cost or reorganization "help". Many organizations do not leverage internal expertise when the board or shareholders call actions because "known" consultants provide both a form of cover and board members may have used them in the past. Three things you need to know and what to do now: 1. The management consultant was not hired because your organization believes there are no opportunities. Kind of obvious but understand the management consultant will be looking at industry benchmarks and analyzing your resources vs others in your industry. It doesn't matter if you have better performance (unless you're driving revenue), this is a cost v cost and resource v resource exercise. What you can do - utilize your network to determine staffing and budget levels. Get into a group such as NexusHSE so you can have one on one conversations with your industry peers. This will enable you to understand what the benchmark is and how/why you are different. Without this knowledge, you won't be able to negotiate effectively. You will have to take all consultant information at face value, kind of like flying blind. 2. Most management consultant contracts are savings based. The revenue escalators to the consultant are a function (usually 3%-7%) of total cost savings. This means more savings = more consultant revenue. What you can do - keep a log or inventory of cost savings. This should include cost avoidance, cost savings, and revenue creation. Any direct cost savings can serve as an offering back to the consultant in lieu of resources eliminated. Help them arrive at the conclusion as their own versus saying you "created" this. 3. There is almost a ZERO possibility of "no impacts" if your group is in scope for the financial or operational review. Determine your non-negotiable positions and understand that can't be everything. What you can do - As a leader you should always have a continuous improvement mindset. Even if you don't tweak your organization YOY, you should be thinking how to optimize or expand in a way that generates cost avoidance or savings. This could be the central v decentral model or the internal work v consultant work execution, etc. Understanding this will allow you to be effective at where and what you can eliminate/adjust. Bonus Item - Remember these are not your personal friends, they have a singular mission. Optimize and reduce costs, that is how they get paid. They can have great knowledge and experience, but you know your business too. Treat this as a business transaction not friendship. Good luck. No reason to walk the path alone, feel free to reach out to NexusHSE anytime for assistance.

I made it to Denver! Excited to be in the Expo hall this afternoon. Let me know if you would like to connect. Drinks or lunch on me! 🌟 #Denver #Connect #Networking #Expo

❓ Who thought #HOP only had 5 principals ❓ Maybe the economy version but here at NexusHSE we offer the first-class HOP service 🥂 Direct from the #queenofHOP Lisa Brooks, here is Principal #6 🔥 ⚡ Improvement happens through #LEARNING ⚡ “In a world of change, the learners shall inherit the earth, while the learned shall find themselves perfectly suited for a world that no longer exists.” - Eric Hoffer Call to Action - start to build a "learning culture" •Learn from Events, Normal Work and Successes •Learning is integrated into all stages and aspects of work •Learning happens at all levels of the organization •LISTENING is required in order to learn; listening is a skill and takes practice •Learn first, then improve - -> otherwise you might just have made things worse! •Top organizations are obsessed with learning It may be time to consider a "Learning Team" approach. What does that mean you ask? A Learning Team is an ad hoc group of people formed for one purpose... 💪 To LEARN & IMPROVE and communicate information to leadership. 💪 The process is deliberately free of cause or blame and focuses only on WHAT SHOULD THE ORGANIZATION LEARN. When to use the Learning Team? •Post-event (Injury/Quality/Operations) •Near Miss or Close Call •Interesting or Surprising Successes •High Risk Operations •Challenging Design Problems •Anytime you can’t explain…Safety, Quality, Operations, Design… Participation may include individuals from any level of the organization but MUST include “Masters of the Blue Line”. As we conclude this series on the Principles of HOP - recognize this is a journey not traveled alone. There are plenty of resources both free and paid to assist but NexusHSE and Lisa Brooks can assure you won't regret the decision to pursue. Please feel free to suggest other topics for discussion below, we love to help! Thank you for reading.
