Episode 214: 20 Years of Breakthrough Strategies

If you’re a regular reader of Occupational Health & Safety, then you’re probably familiar with Robert Pater. Pater is the managing director and creator of the MoveSMART system to reduce soft-tissue injuries and slips, trips, and falls, and he’s quickly approaching his 20-year anniversary of writing the Breakthrough Strategies column for OH&S. Moreover, he’s written nearly 200 articles for OH&S as well. Robert joins the podcast to talk about the upcoming anniversary of his column, as well as to discuss why slips, trips and falls continue to be a significant workplace safety topic, as well as other safety trends and risks that he thinks should be on safety professionals’ radars. Like Robert’s columns, this interview is full of safety insights.
