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.

Greetings, this podcast recorded in East Brunswick, New Jersey. Last week Terry and I talked about the four (4) part model, FILM – Focus, Influence, Listen and Measure. If you haven’t listened to last week’s podcast I highly encourage you to go back and do so first, prior to continuing with this topic as this one builds on last week’s model. This week we sat down and discussed the four primary factors that influence risk taking. I hope you will be able to find a way to apply these models to your organization. If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact us. All of our contact information can be found at www.ProActSafety.com.
Greetings, this podcast recorded in San Antonio, Texas. Both of my parents were born in San Antonio and I still have a lot of family here, including a family ranch with Texas Longhorns on it. Go figure I’m from Texas and my family has a Longhorn Cattle Ranch, who would of thought. Moreover I bet you wouldn’t be surprised to find my family runs a horse farm and my sister is a Equestrian Hunter/Jumper horse trainer. What is this a Dallas Episode? Anyways sorry for the digression, back to the topic here in San Antonio.
Wikipedia defines a black hole as “a region of space in which the gravitational field is so powerful that nothing, including light, can escape its pull. The black hole has a one-way surface, called an event horizon, into which objects can fall, but out of which nothing can come. It is called "black" because it absorbs all the light that hits it, reflecting nothing...”
In a previous podcast I referred to how a black hole could apply in safety, calling this phenomenon a “Black Hole Safety System”. This is where safety information goes in and nothing comes out. For this week, Terry and I will talk about this topic in more detail. We will provide some examples of what this looks like in an organization, and steps to correct and avoid such an undesirable element of any organizational systems.
