Illusion of Safety

What can hidden injuries tell us about workplace safety? with Jenny Houlroyd


Listen Later

This one's for the hardcore safety nerds (we see you!) Jenny Houlroyd has done extensive research on the often overlooked impact of hidden injuries like silicosis, mainly due to her personal connection with people in the trades who have suffered from the long-term effects of silicosis and tuberculosis. She explains how it affects people in the trades and why early awareness matters. Josh, Allison, and Gabe explore both the personal responsibilities workers carry on the jobsite and the critical role organizations play in protecting their teams. Beyond individual cases, the gang unpacks the broader societal ripple effects of preventable injuries, and what it will take to create lasting change. If you're interested, check out the book "Everything is Tuberculosis: the History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection" by John Green, as it was what sparked this discussion with Jenny. Enjoy!
