Ep 5: Size Matters

The fame is getting to Ron's head a little bit. Dave's too. Ben doesn't get out much, but give it time. This one is a little more serious for some reason. Maybe it's because we're talking about metrics and measurement (not behavior-based safety). The boys are all pretty wound up about metrics anyway, so it's a decent topic. Ron's back from Hawaii. Dave's on the way to Denver. Ben's headed to Nashville. All fun and games. There's a really strong pull to measuring safety in some way, and there's a lot of misinformation out there. The guys talk about why measurement is important - or if it even is - and that's assuming that what we're trying to measure is even the same thing when we say safety. So, if benchmarking isn't helpful, and some common safety metrics aren't reliable, what should we do? Two things come up in the pod: Reduction of actual, physical risk and strengthening climate. There's more to it, and you should listen. Hey.

Punk Rock Safety is for entertainment only. It's definitely not a replacement for professional or legal advice, and the fair amount of piss-taking, shithousery, and general ridiculousness ought to clue you into the fact that no one - and no organization - is endorsing (or un-endorsing, if that's a thing) any products, ideas, or other things. Except NOFX. We definitely endorse them.Oh, and give your money to Punk Rock Saves Lives. They're a rad organization that works in mental health, addiction, and human rights. And they're awesome people who can use your help to keep on kicking ass at what they do.https://www.punkrocksaveslives.org/Let us know what you think at [email protected] or on our LinkedIn page.Merch at punkrocksafetymerch.com
