Did you know the SafeTalk with SafeStart podcast has a regular story series?
The SafeTalk with SafeStart story series was designed as a tool that provides an alternative to analyzing your own SafeStart stories. Sharing stories is a crucial component of SafeStart, but it can be challenging to come up with the number of “fresh” stories required when you’ve been having your group share stories regularly.
Introducing stories from the SafeTalk podcast not only increases the volume of stories available to you, but it also expands the diversity of situations. These stories could also spark additional stories from people in your facility, and sporadically using the podcast could increase the number of volunteers with stories.
Each episode begins with a SafeStart story from a guest on the podcast. Listeners are prompted to pause the podcast in order to have a group discussion around the state-to-error risk pattern and critical error reduction techniques.
With close to 20 stories in our library, there’s bound to be a topic that relates to your audience, including:
Season 9, Episode 11: Story Series: Trouble on the Water
A story about launching a boat at a public boat launch ramp.
Season 11, Episode 8: Story Series: Turning the Tide: Deric Ostrum’s Vacation Rescue

Season 13, Episode 10: Story Series: Combating Complacency with Safe Habits
