Podcast: The Psychology Behind Safer Workplaces

July 31, 2024
In this "Talking EHS" podcast, learn about some of the new tools and strategies companies are adopting to create psychologically safer workplaces.

In this episode of “Talking EHS” (part of the "Great Question" podcast series from Endeavor Business Media's Manufacturing Group), we continue our series of “in case you missed it” reports, this time focusing on the emergence of new tools and strategies to foster psychologically safer workplaces.

You'll hear about the need for safety professionals to understand how DEI concerns affect employees' performance and their safety when they feel threatened in their jobs. The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) works with its members on how to create teams that can improve both physical and psychological safety.

Also, take a deep dive with us into what ISO 45003 guidance for mental health involves, and learn about the various forms that psychosocial hazards can take.
