About The Safety Artisan

https://youtu.be/qebeBeGj__4

Hi, everyone, and welcome to The Safety Artisan. I'm Simon, and I just wanted to share with you briefly why I started this enterprise. I've had a career in safety, engineering, and safety consulting for over 25 years now. And in that time, I've seen customers make one of two mistakes quite often. First of all, I've seen customers not do some things that they should have been doing. This was usually because they just were ignorant of what their legal obligations were.

And I guess that's a fairly obvious mistake. That's what you would expect me to say. But more often, I've seen customers do too much to try and achieve safety, which is surprising! I've seen people waste a lot of time, energy, and money doing things that just didn't make a difference. Sometimes it actually got in the way of doing good safety work.

And I think the reasons for those mistakes are, first of all, ignorance.

Secondly, not knowing precisely what safety is and therefore not being able to work out how to get there. That's why I started The Safety Artisan. I wanted to equip people with the knowledge of what safety really is and the tools to get there efficiently. To neither do too much nor too little. We want Safety, Just Right.

I have 25+ years of experience in safety engineering and consultancy. I've worked on aircraft, ships, submarines, air-traffic management systems, trains, and software. As an engineer and consultant, I've served on tiny projects and some of the biggest programs in the world.

I have worked in the UK and Australia, and on several projects, I've introduced American-made systems to both countries. It has been my privilege to teach safety to hundreds of people in the classroom. And I've presented on safety topics at several international conferences. See my full resume/CV here.

Our Mission and Values

artisan/ˈɑːtɪzan,ɑːtɪˈzan/Learn to pronounce noun

A worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand. “street markets where local artisans display handwoven textiles, painted ceramics, and leather goods”.

When I was choosing a name for my business, I thought of quite a lot of alternatives. I settled on The Safety Artisan for three reasons. First, I liked the meaning of the word. An individual pursuing their craft and trying to do it to the very best of their abilities.

Second, I liked the application. I’ve worked on a lot of very large, even multi-billion-dollar projects; but we’re still knowledge workers. We’re still individuals who must be competent to deliver good results for people.

And third, I liked the idea. Imagine a cottage industry of artisans working at home, delivering goods and services that other people can use wherever they are. Right now, you might be home or you might be on your mobile phone listening to this.

So, I liked all three of those things. I thought, yes, that’s what I’m about. That’s what I believe in and want to do. Does that sound good to you, too? Then check out The Safety Artisan's Topics, where I provide #safety #engineering #training.
