The Great Safety Hypocrisy: Why Metrics Are Failing Workers

This episode drops during Workers Memorial Week, April 20-24, a time set aside to honor the roughly 5,500 workers killed in American workplaces every year.

This week, Dr. Martin and James dig into Dr. Martin's LinkedIn article "The Great Safety Hypocrisy" to tackle why the safety industry keeps debating metrics while the fatality rate barely moves, and what it actually takes to evaluate whether a safety management system is working.
