Dangerous Jobs Podcast with Apolonia Rockwell
Business:Management
In this episode, Apolonia is joined by Felix Nater, president and owner of Nater Associates. Felix and his security management consulting firm work with clients to implement workplace security strategy with an emphasis on workplace violence prevention.
Today’s topics include:
* Workplace safety and violence prevention.
* Felix’s approach to safety training, which emphasizes empathy and emotional intelligence.
* The importance of practical and common-sense approaches to OSHA compliance, rather than a sledgehammer approach that doesn't invite dialogue or communication.
* Frustration with inefficient safety meetings and HSE manuals that people rarely use .
* The difficulty of communicating with some employees due to a lack of safety and openness in the workplace.
* Workplace violence and the importance of communication and collaboration in addressing concerns.
* How many employees feel out of control of their destiny at work, leading to anger and frustration.
* The importance of addressing verbal abuse and bullying in the workplace, as it often leads to more severe incidents like workplace violence.
Thanks so much to Felix for being a guest!
