Taking Safety Culture to the Next Level with Shawn M. Galloway of ProAct Safety and Safety Culture Excellence

In this episode, Apolonia Rockwell talks with Shawn M. Galloway, the President and Chief Operating Officer of ProAct Safety. Shawn is also an author, keynote speaker, consultant, and advisor. Topics that Shawn and Apolonia discuss in this episode: * How Shawn and his business partner started thinking about safety culture in 1986 after the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster and the Chernobyl nuclear accident. * The need for safety professionals to continuously mature our thinking around what is and isn't excellence in safety. In other words, why we should always challenge our thinking around safety. * What is our strategy around safety culture? What does success look like? What direction are we headed? * How, sometimes, the best safety consulting isn’t about just safety consulting—it’s about talking about other factors related to a company’s business. Instead, you should look at processes, systems, and a company’s overall strategy for growth. * An indicator of leadership capability for the CEO of a company to ask themself and their team:  If we're not great at something as important as safety, what else aren't we good at?
