Supervision as a risk control

About this episode

The episode humorously debates the role of supervision as a risk control in safety management.

Step right up to the most chaotic safety debate under the Big Top! In this episode of The Circus of Safety, Brenton Harrison, Andrew Evans, and Desai Link take a hilariously unfiltered look at "supervision as a risk control." Is supervision actually a risk control, or is it just a fancy way to keep tabs on everyone? Dive in as our hosts argue, deflect, and try [mostly unsuccessfully] to keep things simple. Expect witty banter, tongue-in-cheek disclaimers, lively listener commentary, and plenty of snake oil references—all served up with practical insights on risk and safety management. Perfect for anyone who wants their safety talk with a side of laughs. #TheCircusOfSafety #TheSpinningWheelOfDeath #SWOD #HealthAndSafety #RiskManagement #SafetyManagement
