In this episode of My Big Safety Challenge, we sit down with Lisa Brooks, Principal at NexusHSE and a pioneer in the field of ergonomics, to explore what she calls “operational intelligence.” For Lisa, it’s not just a buzzword, it’s a philosophy that bridges leadership and the front-line worker through active listening, relationship-building, and a willingness to get your boots dirty.

Lisa shares stories from her groundbreaking work in ergonomics, reveals how mathematics and sports shaped her approach to safety, and challenges us to rethink what it really means to understand the work. Tune in to hear how a shift in perspective can elevate safety for everyone on the team.
