Description
In this episode, host Dr. I. David Daniels will speak with Dr. Darryl C. Hill, responsible for Safety and Security in a company with nearly 60,000 employees in the U.S. and Canada, regarding his view on “Safety from the C Suite.”
Often conversational about safety in general, and psychological health and safety specifically depend on the view of the person and their level of responsibility in the organization. While front-line workers may have greater exposure to certain hazards, no level of the organization is totally immune from the risk that results from psychosocial hazards. Also, the approaches to identifying, assessing, and mitigating hazards, including those of a psychosocial nature, will differ in focus and implementation. In this episode, we will hear a voice from a “C” Suite safety professional in a role where failure can result in the loss of not only human health and safety but also business.

Psychological Health and Safety in Government - with Mayor Maria Mitchell: Much of the focus regarding safety in the United States is on private sector organizations, given that the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 exempts state and local governments that do not have state plans. This fact, combined with the complex and often highly political nature of public services, often creates significant risk for government and public sector employees based on the diversity and extent of hazards they are exposed to, including psychosocial hazards. The environment can be even more hazardous for workers with cultural differences from the majority in a workplace. The episode features Mayor Maria Mitchell of the City of Miami Springs, Florida. She is not only an extremely skilled and experienced safety professional but a national leader in efforts to provide for the safety of government and public sector workers. Mayor Mitchell will share her perspective on physical and psychological safe by Psych Health and Safety Podcast USA
