Counter-Errorism - Episode 1 - Tony Muschara
Ken Madson and James Newman have been wanting to collaborate on a podcast for quite some time and what is here and what will follow are the results of that desire! They hope you like it. They certainly don't have it all figured out, yet, but figured they would jump in before another month goes by, so here goes. The number one goal of this podcast is to be a beacon on the horizon and direct H&OP Practitioners to implement things that have worked. Does that seem too simple? We shall see!This episode we grabbed some of Tony Muschara's precious time and he gave us some nuggets to consider around one of his favorite topics and ours, Critical Steps. If you manage them properly, it sure seems like a lot of other issues will take care of themselves, as well. Ken and James have a couple dozen people they would like to thank, starting with their families and the CHOL Superstars they frequently meet with to challenge, support, and improve ourselves. They also have pals who podcast you should be listening to if you aren't already:Leading Safely Podcast with Georgina PoolePunk Rock Safety with Ben Goodheart, Dave Provan, and Ron GanttThe HOP Nerd with Sam GoodmanA HOP Podcast (With No Name) with Andrea Baker and Matt FlorioHealth & Safety Conversations with Tom BournePre-Accident Investigations with Todd ConklinSafety on Tap with Andrew Barrett(Not HOP-related, but an AMAZING untold history podcast) The Missing Chapter Podcast with Philip Horrender and Phil Schoff
