Excellent, practical content

As a professional who has been out of the HSE arena for many years (kids, family business) and wanting to re-enter the workforce, these podcasts (along with studying for the ASP/CSP exams) have given me solid resources so that when I land a job soon, I will hit the ground running with confidence! Thank you Safety Brye!

bettybop28 ,

Helpful info/tips in every episode

As someone who was thrown into the safety position for a small company that didn’t have any real safety program in place, these episodes have been incredibly helpful and encouraging. Thank you!!
