Today my guest is Jonathan Lincolne from Pockets of Brilliance, a research and implementation company that does work that is way sexier than that description suggests.  I'm heading along to a workshop that they are running on their 5i change acceleration method on the 26th July 2017 in Brisbane.  I know that many of you won't be able to go, so I thought it best to get Jonathan on to talk about the...

My guest today is Peter Wilkinson, who has a wealth of experience.  Peter and I met a few weeks ago and I enjoyed every minute with him, such was the value he shares.  And as you'll hear, he doesn't chase catastrophe, catastrophe chases him.  Here's Peter: I also wanted to let you know about a very special group of people at Pockets of Brilliance.  You might remember them from Episode 38 with Mich...

See the value of diversity and boost your career with a balanced approach to your professional capability. One of the greatest challenges I face in my mission to help people like you grow and drastically improve health and safety is to bring our message to people who aren't seeking it out, but who would benefit greatly from growing themselves.  You might know someone like that - do them a favour a...

I'm pretty excited at the moment.  I'm happy to announce that the newest member of our family has arrived, his name is Jude Thomas, and despite the fact that he has shown his stubbornness in both labour and afterwards, my wife and I, and his 5 siblings, are glad to have him in our lives. I'm also excited about another new beginning, something of a birth I suppose as well.  Safety on Tap Connected...

Today we've got Part 2 of my deep discussion with Dave Provan, reflecting on the role of the health and safety professional, and how Dave is contributing to our understanding through his research.   If you haven't listened to Part 1, which is Episode 41 , press pause now, go back and listen to that first.  If you've done that and you're ready for part two - let's go!     Plenty of growth-fuelling...

Our guest today is Dave Provan, a guy who I found really drew me in, who made me curious to know more about him and what he's up to.  The crux of the chat was meant to be about his PhD research into the role of the health and safety professional, but I enjoyed that our chat was a bit more meandering than just a description of some straightforward research.  We connected in a way which both helped...

Last episode, ( #39 with Carlo Capponecheia ) was all about an elephant in the room - psychosocial risk.  Poorly understood, seemingly complicated, often this is put in the 'ignore basket', or the 'too hard basket', or the 'that's HR's problem to deal with' basket.  Far from a criticism of all of us working in health and safety (me included), it was a reflection on how what got us here (in terms o...

So there are a few things that create ongoing discomfort for me as a professional, one of which is the lack of evidence in health and safety practice, and our tendency for so much of our practice to not be evidence based even when it exists.  I am guilty too.   I met Michelle Oberg last year when I was speaking at the Australian National Safety Convention, and she had me intrigued with her PhD res...

Since the beginning of the year I've been reflecting on the podcast, and where it's headed.  In all my New Years energy I attempted to plot out a 3 month plan for the podcast, so I've got both the ideas, the guests lined up, and that many podcasts recorded ahead of time, so I don't have a pressure filled Wednesday and Thursday getting the podcast out on time, which was becoming the weekly norm, an...

Today I'm joined by Charles Jennings from the 702010 Institute.  As Charles tells us, he is passionate about performance, through learning.  I've been a fan-boy of the 702010 model for quite some time, and it has really made a profound impact on the way that I boost my performance, and they way I am able to help others - in particular, you the valued listener.  In fact, 702010 is a cornerstone des...

We had a cracking review on iTunes recently, 5 stars no less, from Naomi.  Her subject line was "Hungry, starting? I ate the whole cake!" "The messy concept of risk appetite is just that...an Eton Mess! Well with this episode (ep30), I ate the whole cake and can I have some more sir? Susy was a great guest speaker and it was so good to have her talking about a subject that is climacteric for healt...

Check it out below! Just because it keep's me on my toes, and breaks the pattern in our communication (thanks Jen Jackson from Episode 22 for that insight), I've flipped this episode around and upside down.  Let me know what you think.   First, I want to tempt you with our upcoming guests.   Our schedule is looking pretty impressive, so much so that I'm actually concerned that it might almost be t...

Today my guest Rob Sams and I cover a lot of ground, and at the same time only scratch the surface - why safety isn't that appealing anymore, the idea health and safety can a seriously religious concept in practice, the idea of paradox and how we might make sense of it all!   This, is the safety on tap podcast.   I'm your host Andrew Barrett, and since you're listening in, you must be a leader wan...

How hungry are you for risk? Is your organisation starving of risk? Starvation doesn't sound pleasant….so check out today's interview with Susy Daw, when we weave our way through the messy concept of risk appetite.

We start 2017 with a two-part interview with Rosa Antonia Carrillo, from Carrillo and Associates in California.  Rosa has spent decades looking at more effective health and safety approaches in business, and this has percolated into what we discuss in this interview - the 8 Beliefs of Relationship Centered Safety.  Rosa had so much value to share that I've split this interview up into two parts, 4...
