In this episode, Stacey is joined by Elgin Browning, who has worked in the fire and safety industry for decades and is currently the Fire Chief and Lead Instructor for Industrial Rescue Instruction Systems.

Stacey and Elgin discuss: 

* How some companies are good at identifying their key safety people, yet often don’t get around to identifying their backups. 

* The problems that might arise if there’s a safety event that lasts a few days, and your “A” team has to take a break, yet your company doesn’t have a “B” team (backup team) ready to step up. 

* Elgin’s recommendations for ensuring that safety professionals always identify their backup safety teams. 

Thanks to Elgin for being on our podcast!

* How safety professionals can reach the hearts and minds of the people that you support safety.

* How safety is often subjective, especially when people’s risk levels are different for different people.

* Why it’s hard to get people to care about safety when they, to be blunt, don’t.

* Understanding people’s “why.”

* Why it’s important to learn the personal stories of people you, as a safety professional, are working with.

* Getting your safety point across to management and leadership by framing safety in terms of how much money reducing injuries will save them.

* How you can’t manage safety from behind a desk.

In this episode, Stacey is joined by Peter Susca, who is a Principal for Operational Excellence LLC, which also is known as OpX Safety.

Stacey and Peter discuss:

* How Peter, as a kid, was into science and was kind of like the character of Penny Hofstadter from the sitcom Big Bang Theory.

* Peter’s view that the safety profession correlates to the betterment of human beings.

* How a CEO can change an organization’s stance toward safety much faster than a general safety professional can.

* How a CEO’s vision for safety sometimes gets diluted the further down it goes in an organization.

* Integrating safety into the value set of a business.

* How the way we fight fires has changed and how we have to play catch up.

* The process is where the risk lives. If you can understand the process, you can predict risk.
