À propos de cet audio
When a workplace incident happens, who’s held responsible—and how?
This week, James Junkin and Dr. Logan Martin take on one of the most contentious debates in safety leadership: the line between accountability and blame.
With safety investigations on the rise and regulators sharpening their focus, leaders face a complex reality.
Post-incident reviews can either drive improvement or spark fear and silence.
So how do we build cultures that learn without letting negligence slide?
Inside the episode:
• Why “no-blame” cultures are often misunderstood
• When accountability is necessary—and when it backfires
• The role of progressive discipline in a safety-first workplace
• How OSHA treats unpreventable employee misconduct defenses
• Documentation mistakes that weaken your internal defense
This episode offers a clear, field-tested view of what safety leadership looks like when it’s done right.
