Over the course of 2016, a number of opinions and ideas around safety culture have been put forward.
In SHP’s first podcast, sponsored by Honeywell, we ask six leaders in health and safety:
Is safety really broken?
What’s the point in zero harm?
Is the absence of accidents a positive thing?
Is ‘Safety Differently’ a revolution or evolution?
What is the biggest threat to safety?
John Green, Ruth Gallagher, Clive Johnson, Karl Simons, Steve Hails and Tim Marsh will take to SHP’s airwaves and battle out the key ideas of leadership and culture.
Learn how they strive to create positive safety cultures through different approaches.

Talk about boxing gloves – the moderator is already taking a beating!
For those who have commented that our ad for the podcast looked like something out of #everydaysexism – we agree and have taken it down and replaced it with a boxing glove. For those who criticised the all male panel – well, this was an opportunity we leapt on when we heard them discussing it – we were inspired and thought, that will make a good debate! We did not think about the balance – which we normally do!
I am actually pleased that times have changed and that you are keeping us to the mark on this.
When we took SHP and SHE over 3 years ago, there were so few writers and speakers who were women and no one was shouting about it. It was accepted that most of them were men and that was that.
Over the last three years, we have tripled the numbers so they now make up 50% of our writers on SHP (more if you count the editors who are women) and 45% of our speakers. This in spite of the fact that our research shows that a maximum of 30% are women.
So the fact remains, we have a bloody nose on this occasion – we are sorry! But we have made a massive difference in this area. Come to the debate and put your difficult questions in!
I couldn’t help but notice that this panel does not have any female representation. Is this a conscious decision, or are there no women in this field with the required knowledge base?
Hi there – see the above answer. I am sorry to say also that the number of women at this level in the profession ARE few and far between – I can think of a few, but not enough (yet!)
This looks really interesting. With respect, may I ask why there are no women in the debate?

I ended up missing the live podcast due to work commitments. Are there any plans to make it available on-line? I’d love to listen.
Hi Nigel,
There certainly are. We’ll be posting it on SHP, but in the meantime please find access to it here: ubm.shponline.co.uk/podcast-battle-of-the-ideas/
Best,
