In the first segment of this episode, Stacey is joined by Jordan Geibig, the Safety Manager for M.C. Dean Inc., a company that builds cyber-physical solutions for mission-critical facilities and global enterprises. 

Stacey and Jordan chat about what it’s like working as a woman in construction, and the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Jordan discusses what it was like being discriminated against — for being a woman on a construction site — and then having her employer step up and support her rather than just ignoring the problem. 

In the second segment of this episode, Stacey is joined by Melanie Adams, who started a company, Embher (pronounced “ember”), that created the first female-only brand of flame-resistant clothing. Stacey and Melanie’s conversation touches upon how for too long clothes designed for workers in various industries (e.g. the oil industry) were solely designed to fit a man’s body.

In this episode, Stacey is joined by Peter Susca of Operational Excellence LLC (aka OpX Safety). 



Stacey and Peter discuss: 

* Safety leadership gaps. 

* How safety professionals can focus on changing not only how people think about safety, but also how they make decisions. 

* Peter’s upcoming book, Beyond Safety.

* How safety decisions can be thought of as occurring at three levels. Level 1: the enterprise or business unit level. Level 2: the plant level. And level 3: the worker himself/herself.
