In this episode, Apolonia is joined by Dr. I. David Daniels. David is a safety expert, podcaster, consultant, thought leader, culture warrior, and CEO of ID2 Solutions, a workplace safety solutions provider. The banner image on his LinkedIn sums up his approach rather nicely: “Safety isn’t everything. It’s the only thing!”
Today’s topics include:
* How David's unique perspective on safety was influenced by losing 30 colleagues to workplace injuries or deaths.
* How society conditions people to avoid talking about their feelings, leading to workplace incidents.
* David shares his personal experience of his intuition warning him of a workplace hazard, despite management acceptance.
* Why organizations must take responsibility for creating a clear roles and expectations to avoid confusion and accidents.
* Workplace safety culture and the importance of taking safety seriously and not just checking boxes.
* Advocating for honesty and openness in workplace safety culture.
* Safety is an ongoing process, not a destination.
* Safety is a psychosocial hazard that affects behavior, not just physical hazards.
* The Occupational Safety and Health Act does not specifically address psychosocial hazards, but the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased attention on workplace mental health.
* The importance of mental fitness in job candidates and why companies should prioritize vetting for compatibility in addition to checking resumes.
Thanks so much to Dr. I. David Daniels for being a guest!
