Ready to flip the traditional “safety silo” on its head? 🎙️ In this episode of Safeonomics, Scott sits down with Peter Susca, MS, CSP, ARM—author of the eye-opening article It’s Always Bigger than Safety and a champion of weaving safety into the very fabric of business operations.
Peter makes a compelling case that injury rates are just the tip of the iceberg. We dive into:
✅Reframing the conversation from “cost of compliance” to drivers of performance and resilience
✅Linking safety metrics to the measures the C-suite already cares about—productivity, reputation, and long-term value
✅Real-world stories where looking beyond incident counts unlocked breakthrough results across quality, morale, and profitability
✅Practical strategies for safety pros to earn a seat at the planning table before decisions are baked in
✅How to spark leadership buy-in, foster cross-functional ownership, and build a culture where people feel safe to speak up and innovate
Whether you’re battling the “safety is separate” mindset or searching for fresh language to influence executives, Peter’s insights will help you elevate the conversation—and your impact.
🔊 Hit play to learn why the biggest wins come when we remember: it’s always bigger than safety. Then let us know—what bold question will you ask your leadership team this week?
