As a leader, the safety of your employees is your top priority. But we get it - you have a lot on your plate. We've got you covered with interviews and insights to help you build a safer workplace. Published monthly by Missouri Employers Mutual and Previsor Insurance.
When a catastrophic injury occurs, the recovery process involves several phases, multiple providers, and months of coordination. Arm Dynamics Clinical Manager Julian Wells walks employers through the prosthetic rehabilitation continuum and explains why communication – between the carrier, the clinical team, and the injured worker – determines the quality of the outcome.
Most employers treat workers compensation as a line item. The ones who treat it as a strategy – investing in safety, building working relationships with their agent and carrier – end up with lower e-mods, better claim outcomes, and a team that's already prepared if an injury occurs. In this episode, MEM's John Mitchell and Richard Ollis of Ollis/Akers/Arney Insurance & Business Advisors share what that partnership looks like in practice.
Electrical safety isn't just a concern for electricians. ESFI Executive Director Jennifer LeFevre and Program Director Daniel Majano break down the top 7 causes of workplace electrical fatalities, who is at risk, and the practical steps every employer can take (regardless of industry) to prevent serious injuries.
A low claim count can mean your safety program is working – or it can mean employees don't feel safe enough to speak up. Brad Minor, MEM Senior Safety and Risk Consultant, breaks down the real cost of delayed and unreported injuries, why well-intentioned incentive programs backfire, and the steps employers can take to create a safety culture where reporting is the norm.
Most employers measure safety outcomes. Fewer measure the efforts that produce them. Tim Wilson, Sr. Manager of Safety and Risk Services at MEM, breaks down how to build a safety measurement system that goes beyond incident rates to evaluate leading KPIs, ROI, and a successful safety culture.
Most safety training is easy to forget – because it's designed to be delivered, not retained. In this episode, Mark Woodward, Director of Training and Safety Manager at Sellenriek Construction, shares how microlearning turns workplace training into a tool that actually changes behavior, builds consistency, and shows up in safety outcomes over time.
When deadlines tighten, safety is often the first thing that slips. But the cost of that tradeoff adds up. Sean Galloway, CEO of ProAct Safety, shares how leaders unintentionally undermine safety culture, why the absence of injuries isn't the right success metric, and what practical steps actually move businesses toward safer, more productive operations.
Home health caregivers face unique safety challenges working independently in uncontrolled environments. Kristin Wamsley, Director of Facilities and Fleet at Emmaus Homes, shares how building a genuine safety culture, implementing mandatory equipment protocols, and addressing top risks has helped the organization achieve an injury rate significantly lower than industry averages.
When experienced safety professionals leave, their knowledge often leaves with them. Mentorship keeps that expertise in-house through both structured programs and organic relationships. Domini Montgomery from the Saint Louis Zoo explains how effective mentorship builds psychological safety, improves retention, and creates cultures where people feel confident asking questions and sharing ideas.
AI-powered safety tools are making workplace injury prevention more precise and effective. Brandon Jones, MEM's Director of Safety and Risk Services, shares how predictive analytics, automated compliance monitoring, and personalized training can help you identify emerging risks before injuries occur – using the data you already have.
