    Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) has been around for decades, credited with reducing incidents and shifting focus onto frontline actions. In today's evolving workplaces, some question whether BBS still fits--or if it unintentionally reinforces blame culture. In this episode of Safety on Purpose, we unpack where BBS came from, why it's under fire, and what needs to evolve for it to remain effective. We'll explore how modern safety culture demands more than observation checklists--and how integrating trust, context, and human factors can transform BBS. into a tool for engagement rather. than compliance.

    If you've ever wondered whether BBS is outdated or how to adapt it for today's workforce -- this. conversation is for you.

    In this Mentor Moments bonus episode of Safety on Purpose, we dive into one of the most overloaded skills in leadership and safety--listening. Too often, leaders focus on proving their point or being "right", but real influence comes from making people feel heard. We'll explore why listening builds trust, how it strengthens culture, and practical ways you can shift from correcting to connecting.

    This bite-sized episode is packed with wisdom for safety professionals and leaders who want to create impact beyond compliance.

    The world of work is changing faster than ever - and safety leadership has to change with it. In this episode of Safety on Purpose, we explore why the future of safety leadership can't look like the past. From shifting workplace expectations and generational turnover to the rise of AI, real-time data, and a growing focus on mental health, today's safety leaders are navigating challenges unlike any before.

    We'll talk about why culture has to evolve, how trust becomes the most valuable currency, and what it really means to lead people -- not just policies-- in a complex, uncertain world. If you've ever wondered what it takes to not just keep up, but to set the standard for the next era of safety, this episode is for you.
