This week, Dr. Martin and James welcome Matt Stewart, GSP, RSO, President of Mariner-Gulf Consulting & Services, to introduce the concept of the industrial athlete and challenge safety professionals to rethink how we prepare workers for the physical demands of their jobs.
This episode goes beyond stretch and flex. Matt makes the case that treating workers like athletes is a safety management strategy, not a wellness campaign.
