Description
Welcome to the Interesting Health and Safety Podcast, brought to you in partnership with Safety FM!
A lot of people see health and safety as a really boring subject. Too much red tape, too many systems and procedures. A lot of things getting stopped by the safety police. Colin brings a different take on this; Ok at times it is still serious but Colin brings the topic to life in an interesting and challenging way. If you are serious about making a difference to your team then this podcast will help you run some great health and safety initiatives. A mix up of short messages, top interviews, opinions and great practical advice. Out twice a week Colin’s different takes on this subject will surprise you, annoy you, make you laugh and cry and remember if you are boring then don’t bother listening. Whether you’re a leader, senior manager, at the sharp end or a health and safety professional there is something here for you. Colin’s mantra is to make health and safety as important as everything else you do because that is what he believes. Thanks for taking the time to check this out
