Electrical Safety Podcast Ep. 35 – Brandon Wylie on Safety as a Moral Obligation

"If something breaks, if something unexpected happens, then you're able to fail safely."

In this episode of the Electrical Safety Podcast, Jon welcomes back Brandon Wylie to discuss why electrical safety should be viewed as a moral obligation rather than just a compliance issue. With nearly 30 years of industry experience, Brandon shares powerful insights on creating a safety-focused culture that goes beyond regulations and procedures.

Brandon explains the "Capacity Model" approach to safety management, which helps prevent catastrophic failures by building in controls for life-altering hazards. He emphasizes the critical importance of leadership support in fostering a true safety culture, where workers have "permission to be safe" from the highest levels of the organization.
