Investigating Collisions Within Your Company

Welcome to Season 3 of Steering Change! We are back for another year, and we are thrilled you are here to join us.


In this special episode to kick off 2026, we are sharing the superb presentation from our January virtual Regional Meeting.


Host Kelsey Hipkin introduces the meeting, previously recorded on January 14, with our guest presenter, Robert (Bob) Tell, owner of Big Rock Forensics, who discusses the importance of investigating collisions within your company, enhancing safety, accountability, and operational excellence.
