In this episode, our guest Islam Adra shares his journey into the safety industry,
From the significance of health and safety regulations in protecting workers and reducing injuries and deaths, to the growing issue of mental health and the potential costs companies face due to work-related accidents, diseases, or inadequate mental health support, Islam offers insights into the challenges involved in managing safety across various organizational levels, stressing the critical role of leadership and commitment from every team member.
He discusses the concept of psychological safety and trust in the workplace, delves into topics of active listening, empathic leadership, vulnerability, and care for employee wellbeing.

Until a penultimate and daring statement about envisaging a future where workplaces would not need safety professionals - but how?
