About this episode

In this episode, Barb Allen shares a personal story from 30 years ago that shaped her perspective on workplace safety and the importance of communication.

30 years ago today, I woke up to the sound of my roommate screaming in the middle of the night. That moment changed me, and it shapes how I advocate for safety in the workplace. In this episode, I share the story of that night, how it shaped certain aspects of my life, and how I bring that experience to work when advocating for workplace safety. This episode is meant to highlight why open communication and mutual understanding are essential for fostering a culture of collaboration at work.
