The Safety Gambit

De: Lindsay Polic
  • Resumen

  • Welcome to The Safety Gambit, an exploration of the risks we take as humans and the culture of safety we create at home and at work. Hosted by Lindsay Polic, a certified safety professional for more than 20 years, The Safety Gambit invites you to take a more curious and holistic approach to transforming the culture of safety in your life, including bringing awareness to the impact of our safety decisions, the safety of workplaces, the emotional and physical safety of our spaces, and the philosophy of safety. On the show, Lindsay and other safety experts and like-hearted individuals will ask questions like: What is your personal risk level? Why do companies take risks to short cut regulatory safety obligations? What is the cost of the humans doing the work? Why do humans take risks to short cut safety outside of the workplace? We connect, educate, and empower you to enact change and create transformation around safety for your family, communities, and workplaces. Let’s discover The Safety Gambit in your life!Music by TimTaj. Artwork by Chris Polic. Edited by Nōn Wels.
