Episode 77 - Working Safely: The Best Gift to Your Family and Loved Ones with Lisa Ramos and David Garton

"Nobody ever said to me, 'Cut corners, work unsafely, product over people.' No one ever said that. I think it was an invisible pressure that I put on myself." In this powerful and inspiring episode, Lisa and David share their story and experience surrounding Lisa's workplace incident that occurred seventeen years ago and how they continue to overcome the mental and physical aftermath within their family. Tune in as Lisa shares the crucial importance of building a culture of safety ownership, encouraging team members to speak up, and reporting all safety concerns. Learn why working safely is the greatest gift you can give to your family and loved ones.
