Ep182: ISO standards and new views of safety: slaying different kinds of sacred cows, with Jeremy Scrivens

Safety on Tap

What's the risk when we use an ISO standard approach to health and safety? That we miss the point entirely. Decades of experience have revealed what happens when standards compliance and its activities become the goal, instead of the goals of actual health and actual safety the ISO standard was meant to enable. Oh, and by the way, we're going to blow the idea of new views of safety out of the water too.

Today's partner in conversation Jeremy Scrivens sort of defies description, and definitely defies categorisation. Jeremy helps leaders and organisations enable the future of work - which he labels being an Appreciative Futurist. In the way I'm described as a reformed health and safety professional, Jeremy might be a reformed HR professional. But soooo much more.
