For a few years now, I've been dealing with some health issues. Nothing alarming, but daily life-impacting. Regular doctors kept on telling me that I was fine.

25: Perspective, Emotional Intelligence, and Empathy as A Health And Safety Practitioner
In today’s episode of Transmit Safety, I dive into the fascinating world of perspective, emotional intelligence, and empathy. This topic came to my mind because when I'm interacting with other health and safety practitioners or professionals, one of the themes that continues to come up is “I'm right, they're wrong. I know what I'm doing. They don't know what they're doing.” As a health and safety practitioner professional, you need to develop the skills to enhance your ability to understan...

21: The Importance of Clean and Functioning Washrooms at Worksites
In today’s episode of Transmit Safety, Aimee highlights the importance of clean and functioning washrooms at worksites for worker health and morale. Going to the washroom is something we all do, every single day. Therefore, having access to clean and functioning washrooms on-site might seem like a no-brainer. This is very often not the case.

In today’s episode of Transmit Safety, I'm talking with Olivia Augustin about learning English, writing emails, and being more inclusive.
