Episode 228: Building Safety Programs for SMBs That Actually Work

In this episode of the OH&S SafetyPod, safety expert Greg Zigulis discusses the unique challenges small and medium-sized businesses face when building effective health and safety programs. Drawing on insights from his new book, "Health and Safety Programs in Small- and Medium-Sized Businesses," Zigulis explains how limited resources, lack of formal training, and competing priorities often lead organizations into reactive safety practices. He shares practical guidance on how to prioritize risks, understand injury causation, and develop a structured approach that goes beyond compliance to create meaningful, sustainable safety outcomes.
