How to Build a Culture of Safety — May Bonus Episode

The May issue of Parks & Recreation magazine is out now, and
on today’s bonus episode of Open Space Radio, we’re diving deeper
into the feature article, “Building a Culture of Safety for
Aquatic Facilities,” by Stephanie Shook, CPRP, the senior product
manager of aquatics and instructors for the American Red Cross.


 


I’m so thrilled to be joined on the show by two individuals who
were highlighted in the article:


·         Dr. William
Ramos, a member of the Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council and
associate professor at Indiana University School of Public Health


·         Nichole Bohner,
the aquatics division manager for City of Round Rock, Texas,
Parks and Recreation.


 


They each share their experience when it comes to building a
culture of safety — something that is of the utmost importance at
aquatic facilities and the wide range of other park and
recreation offerings.


 


Tune in to our full conversation below to learn how you can
create a culture of safety in your community. You’ll also learn:


What a “culture of safety” really means
