Greetings, this podcast recorded while on the road in Cumbernauld, Scotland. A few months back, I was speaking at Partners in Prevention 2010 in Toronto, Canada. After my talk on Teaching Supervisors to be Safety Coaches, the editor of Accident Prevention e-News asked if I would write an article on the subject. A few weeks later the article was published in the May 2010 edition. The published article can either be found at http://www.iapa.ca/Main/Apmag/2010_enews_may.aspx#b or under Insights at www.ProActSafety.com.

Greetings, this podcast recorded while on the road in Baltimore, Maryland. This is now our 137th podcast and Safety Culture Excellence is now over 2 ½ years old! Thank you to all of our subscribers. Terry Mathis and I have been overwhelmed by the amount of appreciation we receive via email and calls from people telling us how much these podcasts have helped them improve safety. Thank you for that. This is exactly why we continue to provide them. 

 

As a result of our success with podcasting, Terry and I wrote an article called Using Podcasts to Improve Safety. American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE) has a magazine called Professional Safety. They were kind enough to publish this article in their best practices section in the May 2010 edition. The article can either be found on the magazine’s website: http://www.asse.org/professionalsafety/archive.php or with all of our other articles at: http://www.ProActSafety.com/articlesbyproactsafetystaff

 

We also spoke on this subject at the recent Safety 2010, ASSE Conference. Several people in the audience asked for more information on podcasting, Terry and I will provide this information in a podcast that we hope to release in the coming months. I hope you enjoy the podcast this week.

Greetings, this podcast recorded while on the road in Toronto, Ontario. After seventeen years of working on and developing safety cultures, we receive comments and questions on a weekly basis on how to assess a safety culture. A lot of people believe it can be performed solely by completing a safety perception survey. Remember perception surveys are an indicator of a safety culture, not the indicator of safety cultures.

 

If you really want to understand your culture, you have to properly assess it. However, it doesn’t have to be that complicated. I realized that there isn’t anything out there that properly describes how to internally accomplish an assessment of a safety culture. So based on ProAct Safety’s experience of assessing over 1,100 safety cultures, I decided to write an article on how to do just that, in seven simple steps.

 

The article was published in the April 2010 edition of EHS Today. It can be found either at www.EHSToday.com or under Insights at www.ProActSafety.com. I hope you enjoy this reading of Assessing Your Safety Culture in Seven Simple Steps!

 

Have a great week!

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.

If you would like to see the actual article it can be found at: http://cos-mag.com/201004191855/safety/safety-columns/prevention-trumps-reaction.html. You can also find it (and all our others) by visiting www.ProActSafety.com and click on the Insights tab. I hope you enjoy!

 

Have a great week!
