Description

Does everything in safety need to be so black-and-white?

In this episode of The Circus of Safety, Brenton, Des, and Andy spin the infamous wheel to tackle the problem of binary thinking in the health and safety profession.

With their trademark mix of practical insight, tongue-in-cheek banter, and a dash of philosophical musings [plus a brief detour into polygamy and quantum mechanics], the trio question whether one-size-fits-all approaches really work—or if there's value in more flexible, context-driven methods.

From safety philosophy to practical examples involving audits and root cause analysis, the conversation is lively, irreverent, and packed with takeaways for anyone tired of absolutism in the workplace.

Tune in for a fun, thought-provoking look at breaking down the binaries in safety management.
