Safeonomics Season 4 | Episode 1 with Mary Foley

What if the safety data you’ve been collecting for years suddenly mattered to your CFO, investors, and customers?

In this episode of Safeonomics, we’re joined by Mary Foley, Expert Services Strategy Director at Enhesa | Forbes Contributor to unpack a major shift many safety professionals haven’t fully clocked yet: safety is becoming a financial reporting issue, not just a compliance one.

As new global reporting standards expand the definition of material risk, financial auditors are starting to scrutinize workforce health, safety, mental wellbeing, and climate-related impacts—across more than 40 sectors, not just traditional high-hazard industries.

Mary explains what this means for safety professionals in mid-sized organizations who may not be directly affected yet—but who can use this moment as an opportunity to elevate their work, speak the CFO’s language, and make a stronger business case for safety.

We cover emerging risks like remote work duty of care, heat stress, and climate impacts, how ISO 45001 provides a head start, and why a simple gap analysis can help you get ahead of what’s coming.

You may not be required to report today—but this episode shows how to turn what’s coming next into visibility, influence, and competitive advantage.

🎧 A must-listen for safety leaders ready to move from compliance to strategic value.
