Ep.166 - The Safe Mind - Field Engineers

Jason gets brutally honest about two career moments that changed his safety mindset forever. First, a safety manager threatened to fire him if he didn't take inspections seriously. Second, he was suspended for a month without pay for not reporting an inappropriate comment to a female colleague. These stories reveal why your safety set point isn't high enough yet, and why developing a safety-everywhere mentality now will save you from the butt chewing later. Safety isn't just physical, it's mental, emotional, and about protecting the innocent from harassment and discrimination.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Jason's safety wake-up call: Threatened with termination for blowing off inspections, became a safety fanatic overnight
• The suspension story: Month without pay for not protecting the innocent, not reporting inappropriate workplace comment
• Why safety is a value, not a priority: Priorities change, values remain constant
• The safety-everywhere mentality: At work, at home, at church, driving, protecting people from COVID, appropriate behavior
• The challenge: Amp up your game now, take training seriously, develop safety mindset before you become someone's nightmare

Your mental set point needs to be set a lot higher for a safety-everywhere mentality, or you'll have that moment where you get your butt chewed to get your mind in the right spot.
