⚠️ Biggest mistake in dust collection? Treating it like a catalog purchase. As explain by our Global Dust Collector Product Manager Randilyne Huckaby, installing a unit without fully understanding your process, risks, and regulatory requirements simply doesn’t work for dust collection. ‼️ That’s why we have a team of experts ready to assess your application and ensure the right, safe, and compliant solution from the start

Just listened to this and found it really insightful. If you work in the fire industry, you might find it useful too. Worth a listen.

This episode got me thinking about how much “guessing” still exists in a lot of organizations. Process-driven safety is really just removing that guesswork. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/gJ5ageY3

OSHA just made it a lot easier to get leadership to take arc flash seriously. In the latest episode of Electrical Safety Talks, I sit down with Jarod Guier to break down the November 2024 OSHA arc flash guidance, what it actually says, why it matters, and how safety managers can use it to get executive buy-in on compliance. If your leadership does a word search on arc flash in OSHA and comes back saying it's not required, send them this episode. #ElectricalSafety #ArcFlash #NFPA70E #ElectricalSafetyTalks #BowtieEngineering

In this episode, Dr. Ayers interviews Bruce Main, a leading expert in machine safety and risk assessment, to explore how Prevention Through Design (PtD) can dramatically reduce workplace hazards. Bruce emphasizes that the most effective safety solutions are those built into the design of equipment, processes, and systems — not added after the fact. https://lnkd.in/eEYQjzdb

💭 Are we investigating safety… or designing it? 🎙️ Podcast review: Todd Conklin's Pre-Accident Investigations (PA Pod 596) – Incremental Safety Practices: Reductive vs. Inductive 📢 Listen: https://lnkd.in/dCc8MqFJ This episode explores Hollnagel's latest book focused on the strengths (and limits) of two complementary approaches to safety: · Safety I: reduce risk by fixing what goes wrong. · Safety II: build capacity so teams can adapt and keep care safe under pressure. Here’s a quick analogy that may help it click: Potholes on roads Safety I: fix the potholes. If the road surface is smooth, everything flows. The focus is on spotting defects and repairing them quickly: no pothole, no problem. Safety II: assume potholes will happen and design in resilience. Roads are used all day, every day and weather, heavy loads, and time mean deterioration is expected. So we build capacity (resilience) so small defects don’t become major incidents, for example: 1. Make the carriageway wider than the vehicle (room to adapt without catastrophic consequences). 2. Use suspension (absorbs bumps so the vehicle stays stable). 3. Use pneumatic tyres (deforms around small hazards and protects the wheel). In reality, we need both. Some hazards should be removed (repair the pothole). But we also need enough capacity in the system so everyday variation doesn’t tip into harm. ❓ Question: In your organisation, what gets more attention fixing potholes (hazards) or building capacity (resilience)? What’s one change you’d prioritise? ℹ️ How we can help:  From staff engagement sessions, culture reviews, PSIRF evaluations and training or incident investigations.

Real safety starts before you leave the ground. ⚡ Plan it. Say it. Check it. In the field, buddy checks aren’t just about making sure your gear looks right — they’re about making sure your plan is right. 🦺 Walking through your steps out loud, confirming your setup, and having another set of eyes on your system creates awareness before the risk ever shows up. It gives your partner the ability to catch a missed step, question something that doesn’t look right, or remind you of what you said you were going to do. ✅ That’s how you protect each other — not just reacting in the moment, but being aligned before the work begins. 🤝 Watch the full episode with Mike Williams at the link in the comments! 👇 #BuddyCheckSafety #RenewableEnergyTraining #PreJobSafety #FieldSafetyCulture #WorkingAtHeights

New #podcast with Gina Vanderlin, CSP, CHMM, CIT, CUSP & host Kate Wade Listen here - https://lnkd.in/grrGj2e5 Effective mitigation requires leaders to regularly audit data, standardize definitions and measurement practices, and create psychologically safe reporting environments. This podcast episode features Gina Vanderlin, CUSP, CSP, CHMM, CIT, Health and Safety Program Manager at PSEG Long Island and a self-professed "Safety Alchemist". In a deep dive with host Kate Wade, Gina explores how safety professionals can transform raw data and standard procedures into meaningful organizational change. The conversation focuses on her Applied Alchemy article series for Incident Prevention magazine, specifically highlighting the hidden dangers of data bias and the evolving safety risks associated with new energy technologies like lithium-ion batteries.   Key Takeaways: The Concept of Safety Alchemy: Rather than just following compliance-based checklists, a "safety alchemist" blends diverse disciplines—such as behavioral science, decision science, and engineering—to transform information into actionable insight. The Evolution of Battery Hazards: As utilities integrate EVs and grid storage, employers must reconsider hazard communication. Batteries often bypass traditional scrutiny because they are classified as "articles," but damaged or failing batteries introduce significant chemical and fire risks. Data Bias in Safety Management: Bias is a natural human trait, but in safety data, it can lead to "ghost" weaknesses. Gina identifies five key biases—survivorship, selection, measurement, historical, and algorithmic—that can cause a safety system to drift away from reality. The "Geographic Presumption": Under a new OSHA letter of interpretation (Jan 2026), injuries caused by personal devices (like e-cigarettes or personal chargers) in the workplace are generally considered work-related and recordable. Improving Decision Quality: The common thread across all safety domains is decision quality. Improving how workers interpret information and how leaders prioritize resources is the most effective way to address the plateau in Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) rates.     #UtilitySafety #SafetyAlchemy #DataBias #OccupationalHealth #IncidentPrevention #EHSLeadership This podcast is sponsored by T&D PowerSkills, LLC.
