Ep 5: Size Matters Punk Rock Safety

The fame is getting to Ron's head a little bit. Dave's too. Ben doesn't get out much, but give it time.

This one is a little more serious for some reason. Maybe it's because we're talking about metrics and measurement (not behavior-based safety). The boys are all pretty wound up about metrics anyway, so it's a decent topic.

Ron's back from Hawaii. Dave's on the way to Denver. Ben's headed to Nashville. All fun and games.

There's a really strong pull to measuring safety in some way, and there's a lot of misinformation out there.

The guys talk about why measurement is important - or if it even is - and that's assuming that what we're trying to measure is even the same thing when we say safety.

So, if benchmarking isn't helpful, and some common safety metrics aren't reliable, what should we do? Two things come up in the pod: Reduction of actual, physical risk and strengthening climate. There's more to it, and you should listen.
