  So you've worked really hard to build up a professional network because everyone said it was necessary, but now what do you do with it? That's the question we're pondering with Russell Duren.

  There's Maternity Hi-Visibility Workwear? with Svetlana Blancher

  Aug 17, 202629 minS3

  We're amazed at the work that people continue to do to help workers do their job safely, with workwear and personal protective equipment that works as hard as they do. That's why we have Svetlana Blancher, founder of Rugged Peach Workwear, to talk about a very special group of workers she's here to help: pregnant women. Svetlana shares how her own (unsuccessful) search for workwear while she was pregnant led to her creating a line of high-visibility clothing that is tailored for expectant moms. As Svetlana mentions, they may be a small percentage of the workforce, but that small percentage still comes out to a big number...and they need properly fitting PPE, too! Check it out at ruggedpeach.com! Also visit Build-Her.org, a group that Svetlana is partnering with to advocate for women in construction and other trades!

  Can Safety Pros keep Fire Safety Pros safe? with David Wenzel

  Aug 3, 202627 minS1

  Often we think of firefighters and rescue personnel as the ones who help keep the public safe, but who helps them do their work safely? That's where safety pros like David Wenzel come in! With over 25 years in safety, David brings a high degree of expertise and a deep level of care and concern for the brave men and women in the fire service. He is fully immersed in the firefighter culture, which is important when he's helping to improve the work for everyone before, during, and after those calls. Even though fire safety has it's own unique culture, David clues us in on some safety lessons and practices that can apply to any industry, especially when working with teams of people.
