Introducing my new Safety and Risk website!

Thanks for stopping by and welcome to my new blog! This is just an introductory post so I’ll keep it short and sweet.

I decided to start a blog because I am frustrated with the amount of “Safety Noise” that is out there. In the past I have developed a network of people that have enjoyed my past newsletter articles and writings. I have contemplated this format for some time, but I truly believe that this is the best format to share my ideas, thoughts, & practices to promote a place where nobody gets hurt.

Over the next few months I plan to be writing and sharing posts about the realistic safety approach based on real people and real results. A lot of what I will be writing about is based on my experience in the field and in the office. It may be a little unorthodoxed or different then some of the information you are used to.

I am new to the whole “blog” scene so bear with me as I learn and update this page to make it simple and easy to understand.

That’s it for now! If you’d like to be kept updated with my posts “Like” this post or subscribe to my blog.
