Creating a Culture of Safety

Discover the transformative impact of leadership on firefighter safety in our latest conversation with retired fire chief Pat Dale. With his wealth of experience, Pat draws a direct line between the commitment of senior staff to firefighter well-being and the resulting decrease in injuries and mental health concerns. As we gear up for the Blue Card Hazard Zone Conference, we navigate the complexities of establishing a robust culture of safety and probe how leadership styles may contribute to post-traumatic stress in the fire service.

This episode features Nick Brunacini, Pat Dale and John Vance.
