EHS Daily Advisor | Standing Your Ground as a Safety Professional in Today’s Environment
Listen in as HSI’s Chief Safety Officer Jill James relates her years of experience as a safety leader, and answers a bevy of questions from an audience of safety professionals in every industry. A key theme of this discussion is how health and safety pros have been combatting a new hazard (with the coronavirus/COVID-19)at work, at home, and in their communities for close to two years, and it’s taking a toll. Many health and safety professionals have seen and experienced their company ethics in ways they haven’t seen prior to the pandemic. For some, it’s been great, for others it’s been like taking a magnet to their moral compass. As a collective, the profession has been faced with some make or break moments; how are we handling them, and when do we know it’s time to move on?
This is a great session to hear about how your peers are responding to questions like:
- How are others using technology to distribute the health and safety workload to people outside safety?
- How do I handle what seems to be a perpetual pandemic?
- How do you stay your course when rules seem to be getting “bent”?
- Where does safety fit in around related issues like violence in the workplace?
