Episode Details

Most organisations think they're doing enough on safety until they realise they're only seeing half the picture. I sat down with David Picton, SVP, Safety & Sustainability at EcoOnline, to explore what happens when you stop looking backwards and start using data to actually shape what happens next. What came through loud and clear is this shift from simply meeting requirements to uncovering insights that drive better decisions, stronger performance, and ultimately safer outcomes. There's a real opportunity here not just to protect people, but to elevate safety into something that genuinely influences business success.

Highlights:

• Moving beyond compliance: Unlocking hidden value in safety data 
• Data visibility: Turning information into actionable insight 
• Leading vs lagging indicators: Driving forward looking decisions 
• AI in safety: Supporting insight, not replacing human judgement 
• Connecting data sources: Training, incidents, and operational factors 
• Predictive safety: Preventing incidents before they occur 
• Business impact: Linking safety performance to productivity and ROI 
• Executive influence: Elevating safety to strategic decision making
