To Me Safety Is… - with the 2022 NABCRMP Safety Scholars: In this episode, we’ll close out our celebration of Black History Month with a conversation involving three 2022 Safety Scholars from the National Association of Black Compliance and Risk Management Professionals Leila Ruggs of North Carolina A&T University, Garrett Washington of American University and Emmanuel Winful of Auburn University. They will delve into their views on a variety of safety-related topics, including the view of these young people of what a psychologically safe and healthy environment looks and feels like from their perspective. We live in a society where most systems that influence our daily lives are heavily influenced by the perspective of those that have been around the longest. Unfortunately, this tendency focuses, for the most part, on the past rather than on the future. The same could be said about conversations regarding psychological health and safety.
