About This Podcast

Safety leadership is more than complying with rules and regulations. It’s about creating solutions that are relational, inspirational, and transformational. BCSP, the gold standard in safety certification, and Dale Carnegie (DC), the premier expert in leadership training, introduce you to safety professionals who have solved unique challenges in innovative ways. Let the lessons they’ve learned help you lead your team. The BCSP+DC partnership builds leaders in the safety, health, and environmental profession through a series of live, interactive online courses. “My Big Safety Challenge” highlights safety leaders applying those principles in real-world scenarios.
