As a leader in ready mix concrete, energy and logistic solutions, Ozinga sees the call for safety being everywhere: Beyond the construction site, and well after we've punched out. On Chasing Zero, Ozinga Health & Safety VP Adam Pummer discusses the ways that industry experts and fellow coworkers are leading by example, to help increase safety and eliminate incidents and injuries. Find full video of every episode at http://youtube.com/OzingaRMC.
Whereas many safety officials often work their way toward the C-Suite, former CEO Brian Fielkow took the opposite route: Through years of executive leadership with companies like Waste Management and Jetco Delivery, Brian witnessed first-hand how safety was the entry way to both productivity and profit, and since then, his outlook on the subject has influenced everyone from trucking magnates to NASA astronauts. Brian's latest book is Making Safety Happen: The Roadmap to a Safe, Productive and Profitable Business, and he joins Ozinga Health & Safety VP Adam Pummer today to discuss why compliance and safety often clash, and when setting goals, what it means to be "grounded in the art of possible."

Waking Up to Better Sleep with Dr. Chris Winter
An internationally recognized sleep specialist, neurologist and author, Dr. Chris Winter helps pro sports teams prioritize rest, in an effort to maximize game day performance. From Major League Baseball to the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team, his methods have been linked to fewer injuries, quicker recoveries, greater alertness and better production on the field. Separating myth from medicine weekly on his own podcast Sleep Unplugged, Dr. Winter joins Ozinga Health & Safety VP Adam Pummer to discuss everything from whoop bands to white noise, and how the "industrial athletes" of the labor force, with fluctuating schedules and third-shift work, can still level up their sleep.
