Greetings everyone I recorded this podcast in San Jose California. Recently I was asked to become a frequent contributor to Canadian Occupational Safety Magazine. I was honored when they stated the following on their website, “Editor's note: Beginning this month, Canadian Occupational Safety is adding another talent to its roster of columnists. Shawn Galloway, international speaker and professional safety coach, will draw from his experiences to provide readers with valuable insights towards achieving safety culture excellence.” The podcast this week is my second article contributed to the magazine. It is titled, Prevention Trumps Reaction and was published 19 April 2010.
Greetings, recorded this podcast while on the road in San Jose, California. Safety has evolved at an impressive rate. I would argue, increasingly so over the past decade. As we improve our ability to prevent risk exposures and injuries we must ensure we do not fall into what Dean Spitzer in his book SuperMotivation calls, “Theoretical Chauvinism – the tendency to adopt one theory to the exclusion of others. Whether the theory is Maslow’s, Herzberg’s, McGregor’s, Freud’s, Skinner’s, or anyone else’s, no one theory alone is sufficient to explain the complexity of human motivation.”
Terry and I talked about the positive and negative impacts of advanced safety theories. I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as we did!
Greetings, recorded this podcast from the road in Omaha, Nebraska. Businesses continue to struggle trying to identify different, or better ways to measure safety. In the audio podcast this week, Terry and I discuss the evolution of safety measurement and where the future will take us. We refer this as Safety Measurement 3.0. I hope you enjoy!
Greetings, this podcast recorded on the road in Canton, Ohio. This week I would like to share an article I wrote (Hiring for Safety -- Risk-Takers Need Not Apply), that was published by Industry Week on the 5th of April 2010. If you would like to see the actual article it can be found at:
Greetings everyone for the podcast this week, I’d like to share a short video I recorded on the importance of safety habits. The title is Making Safety a Habit: But Which One. My apologies in advance for the poor lighting in the video. Ironically I recorded this in a hotel called The Nordic Light in Stockholm, Sweden. While the hotel was fantastic, the lighting in the room wasn’t great for recording a video. As a result you might not be able to see my face clearly; some would see that as a positive! Nevertheless, I hope you find the message worthwhile of 5 minutes of your time. You can either download this short clip here from this site (www.SafetyCultureExcellence.com) or watch it below from or on YouTube.
Like all the other videos, articles and podcasts, I hope this prompts some thoughts to assist you in being the best leader you can be!
