How many people is it acceptable to hurt at work?

That’s a question Will Hewett, Co-Founder & Director of Genii Earth LLC, learned from a colleague and incorporated into his own consultations. In 20 years of safety leadership consulting, where he reshapes the way people think about safety leadership, he’s never heard any other answer than zero.

That idea drew Will to safety leadership consulting more than 23 years ago. He says that, while he never intended to become involved in the world of safety, it’s the way the safety industry treats employees like people, with humanity, that drew him to the profession.

Looking for a different perspective on how to approach safety? One that incorporates ideas like invisible PPE and tells us that the most important person to change when it comes to safety is yourself? Tune into this episode of My Big Safety Challenge and find out why Will says being nice and non-confrontational isn’t always the right approach, and how working in the realm of stories and interpretation is essential to safety.
