    Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Safety Clothing Made by Women For Women

    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.

    How Do We Keep People Safe, Yet Not Ruin Their Fun At Work?

    In the first segment of this episode, Stacey is joined by Trish Ennis, who has worked in the safety profession for over 30 years. Trish is the kind of person who is continuously using her knowledge and skills to advance occupational health and safety.

Listen to this chat to learn Trish’s answer to the question: How do we keep people safe in a way that doesn't cause them to lose passion for their jobs?    Connect with Trish Ennis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trishenniscsp/  In the second segment of this episode, Stacey talks with Daniel Klinger, president of MTAC Industrial Solutions. By the way, the name of Daniel’s company, MTAC, stands for More Than A Carpenter Services, which is a pretty cool acronym.  In this chat, Stachey and Daniel discuss pallet rack collapse prevention. Any time a pallet rack is damaged, there’s the risk it might cause a catastrophic collapse.
