Is economic growth written in blood? - The Rebranding Safety Show
January 2, 2024
Disclaimer - Profanity used throughout this podcast.
As safety professionals, we find it abhorrent that a person can lose their life at work, but as a society, do we accept that it’s OK for a person to die at work in the name of progress - either economically, socially, technologically? We give our thoughts on this harrowing subject, citing figures from the ILO and HSE reports. We discuss modern slavery, forever chemicals, as well as the issues surrounding SSIP schemes. And, as a profession, who is advocating for us when it comes to the larger, societal safety issues and the significant long term chronic health impacts from things that safety teams/consultants aren't able to look at on a daily basis? What do we want to see from our professional bodies to ensure changes are made to ensure that the economic growth of our countries, and the world, isn't written in blood or the cognitive and behavioural impairment of generations yet to come?
