James is joined by the wonderful Juliana Bley, psychologist, founder of SafetyLab and Ted X speaker. They discuss the importance of relationships within learning, and having strategies to apply the content you consume; "having the best technology with no educational plan surrounding it is merely entertainment". Juliana also talks about the Art of Hosting, a global community practising participatory leadership, collaborative practices, dialogue and more. Thank you, Juliana, for joining us on the podcast. Enjoy.....

A massive thank you to Jean-Christophe who joins us live from the EHS Congress in Berlin. Jean-Christophe is a distinguished researcher working at the National Institute for the Industrial Environment and Risks. His workshop, "How new is the 'new view' in safety?" blew us away at the Congress and he discusses this here today with James. Enjoy.....

We're so excited to publish this conversation between James and Sidney Dekker - professor, author, film maker, founder of the Safety Science Innovation Lab amongst many other accolades, Sidney gives his insights into the gap between 'safety as done' and 'safety as imagined', the 'tribalism' surrounding different safety approaches, and James somehow shoe-horns an conversation about Star Wars in there with no intended end point!
Thank you to Sidney and to the organisers at the EHS Congress in Berlin for helping us to set up this conversation - definitely a career highlight. Enjoy..... -
A massive thank you to Phil Clarke, Head of H&S at Care UK, who joins us on the podcast this week. Phil and James discuss fire safety in the care sector and the unique challenges that come with it, incident investigations and the challenges in making changes, the importance of community, building trust in your people, your systems and your buildings, competence vs confidence, and to educate or to train - that is the question! They also dive in to a question put forward by one of our amazing listeners. Enjoy...

Join James and Peter in looking at those times as safety professionals, we didn't get it right........
-
In this episode, James and Peter reflect on what they've been up to, including The Health and Safety Event and the BFFF Conference, as well as answering a question from one of our listeners. This weeks discussion point from Terry Considine is...
"I want more accountability and that starts with Occupational Safety and Health professionals, whilst we're in a field of 'come as you wish' so long as you a) Don't give me any bad news, and b) Are cheap as chips. More regulation of H&S advisors but the established institutions don't seem to want to rock the boat". -

Amy is the Founder of The Safe Tribe, a membership community for safety professionals, giving them a safe space to share ideas and gain confidence within the industry. With James, Amy talks about the reputation that the safety profession still has, safety being a scapegoat, the reasons we should focus on core skills, and why she wanted to set up The Safe Tribe, all of this along with discussing her experiences as an employee as well as a consultant. Thank you so much, Amy, for joining us. Enjoy... -

The survey results are in...... Thanks to everyone that completed our "Safety Professional - are you ok?" survey. The results were thought provoking, and in light of Blue Monday just passed (15th Jan) we share some of our thoughts here. We discuss the state of mental health surrounding the safety profession, how our sleep is affected, the challenges that exist relative to workload, loneliness and isolation, uncertainty, and prioritising our own ambitions. We give our thought on the notion that "good is expected", as well as the importance and power of networks, communities and peer to peer support, along with challenges between individual occupational groups and industry wide sharing.
We'd also love you hear your thoughts - do you think it would be valuable to know more about actual issues and events as and when they're happening to trigger discussions on H&S topics, and how the consultant network can come together on this for the greater good of the profession? -
Thank you to Chris who joins us for a second time on Rebranding Safety. Chris is an award-winning author and co-founder of Clearfield Group, guiding leaders through change and complexity. We catch up on the last 2 years and the landscape of complexity since his book 'Meltdown', co-authored by Andras Tilcsik, was released in 2018. We discuss leadership and 'the power of not knowing', implementing a culture and how it changes over time, being open and real about the levels of engagement and participation you're willing or able to take on, and the power of story telling. Enjoy, my fellow risk nerds..... (as coined by Chris!)

As safety professionals, we find it abhorrent that a person can lose their life at work, but as a society, do we accept that it’s OK for a person to die at work in the name of progress - either economically, socially, technologically? We give our thoughts on this harrowing subject, citing figures from the ILO and HSE reports. We discuss modern slavery, forever chemicals, as well as the issues surrounding SSIP schemes. And, as a profession, who is advocating for us when it comes to the larger, societal safety issues and the significant long term chronic health impacts from things that safety teams/consultants aren't able to look at on a daily basis? What do we want to see from our professional bodies to ensure changes are made to ensure that the economic growth of our countries, and the world, isn't written in blood or the cognitive and behavioural impairment of generations yet to come? -
Disclaimer - Profanity used throughout this podcast. It's been a mammoth year at Rebranding Safety - here's a little round up.

Tom joins us for this final installment of our psychological safety series. We get into real detail about Work as Done vs Work as Imagined, interpersonal relationships, social contracts and who the experts are when it comes to the hazards of work. We also answer some of your questions – is feeling safe to speak up the only measure of psychological safety? And, how can we encourage psychological safety between those from similar backgrounds and also between those from different backgrounds at the same time? Thanks so much to Tom for joining us for this series over the last few months – it’s been both a blast and valuable at the same time. If you want to check out the work Tom is doing, check out his details below. Otherwise, enjoy this episode peeps.

Tom Geraghty is back with us this week hosting his second episode, continuing with our series on psychological safety. We discuss what we think psychological safety looks like in reality, taking the the academia and seeing how it translates within our businesses and our lives. We talk about the importance of motivation and clarity, the power and privilege surrounding it, human error, the knock on effects of banter, and tonnes more. Thanks so much again to Tom for another amazing and insightful conversation. Enjoy.

Thank you so much to Steve for joining us on the pod this week after we reflected on the article he’d written for Sentinel on another episode a few weeks back. His article "Organisational Risk: Predicting the unpredictable" for IIRSM’s Sentinel Magazine was really refreshing to me. And now he’s here with us in the flesh! Steve has an extensive background in economics, security, nuclear, risk, the list goes on, he’s a very well-respected professional in our industry. We discuss the safety profession in general and it’s perception, mature risk management, zero harm, the sharing of information, big corporations vs SMEs, the nature of trade associations, and loads more. Thanks again Steve. Absolutely cracking chat. Enjoy.
