E88 New Safety Manager? Stop Trying to Do Everything (Interview with Brye Sargent from Safety Geek)

Are you a new safety manager who feels like OSHA compliance has become your entire job—and there’s still never enough time? You don’t need to do more. You need a better way to manage workplace safety without carrying everything yourself. In this episode, I sit down with Brye Sargent from The Safety Geek to talk about why so many safety managers become overwhelmed—and what you can do differently. We discuss OSHA compliance, building an effective safety program, safety training, workplace safety, OSHA requirements, leadership, and why your job isn’t to become the “safety cop.” The goal is to help you stop reacting to whatever problem is screaming the loudest and start building a safety program that gives you clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. In this video, you’ll learn: -Why you need to stop being the “safety cop” and become a guide and facilitator instead -How to stop taking responsibility for safety tasks that should belong to supervisors and managers -Why a department of one can successfully manage safety when the right systems are in place -How leadership, communication, influence, and collaboration can make you a more effective safety manager -Why becoming OSHA-ready isn’t about memorizing every OSHA regulation—it’s about knowing what to do next 🎯 Ready to Go From Overwhelmed to OSHA-Ready?
