What if safety behaviour wasn’t just about ticking boxes or following procedures? In this episode, we unpack the deeper forces that shape how people act at work—from leadership signals and peer norms to production pressures and psychological safety. Moving beyond blame and compliance, we explore how safety behaviour reflects what organisations truly value, and how it can serve as both a mirror of culture and a lever for change. If you care about trust, resilience, and real safety—not just the paperwork—this one’s for you.

This episode explores the evolving concept of workplace safety, inspired by Matthew Hallowell’s book "Energy-Based Safety". The discussion expands on traditional safety frameworks, highlighting the importance of considering not only physical hazards but also the impact of emotional energy and psychological harm in the workplace. Topics include the idea of “Hazardous Human Interaction”, the role of psychological safety, and the need to recognize emotional injuries as genuine safety failures.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect on how workplace interactions can affect well-being and to broaden their understanding of what constitutes a serious injury or fatality in modern work environments.
