Think safety is just common sense? Think again.

In this episode of Inside the Aisle, I break down 10 of the most common safety questions workers, supervisors, and job applicants should know. We’ll talk about the difference between a hazard and a risk, what a risk assessment actually means, why the hierarchy of controls matters, and how things like PPE, toolbox talks, near misses, and incident investigations fit into real workplace safety.

I also connect the conversation to OSHA training requirements, including Hazard Communication, Powered Industrial Trucks, Lockout/Tagout, Respiratory Protection, and Fall Protection.

This episode is not just about memorizing answers for an interview. It’s about understanding the safety concepts that help prevent injuries, improve communication, and build a stronger safety culture on the job.

Topics Covered:
Hazard vs. Risk
Risk Assessments
Hierarchy of Controls
Permit to Work
Personal Protective Equipment
Toolbox Talks
Incident Reporting
Incident Investigation
Near Misses
OSHA Training Requirements

Because safety is not about having the right words ready. It’s about making the right decisions before someone gets hurt.
