Safety first? Safety Third? Safety all the time with Randy Klatt and Greg LaRochelle

When something goes wrong in the workplace, who is responsible
for the safety of the worker?    Safety should be
the priority, right?  Who’s priority?  What level of
priority?  Should it be a higher priority for the manager or
supervisor than the employee?  Some have the opinion, that
safety should not a priority at all, profit is what should drive
a business.  Many say, safety should be first, it should be
the responsibility of the teacher, the manager, or the worker, or
somewhere in between.    Still others, find that
safety is important but would argue who is responsible for
it.  And that brings us to Mike Rowe and Safety 3rd.


On this episode of the MEMIC Safety Experts Podcast, I speak with
Greg Larochelle, Safety Management Consultant and Randy Klatt,
Director of Region 2 Loss Control at MEMIC about the priority of
safety, and where it lands in the hierarchy.  Is safety
really 3rd or is it first?
