Guests: Beth Lay and Asher Balkin

We’re honored to have Beth Lay and Asher Balkin from Lewis Tree Service present, “Implementing Safety Differently”, sharing their tools and practices for managing highly variable work.

Surprises are frequent, yet seldom acknowledged nor prepared for in ordinary work situations. We explore the practical application of fundamental Resilience Engineering premises “surprise will happen” and “work is variable” to the tree industry. At Lewis Tree Service, we perform the high-risk jobs of removing trees near power lines including trees on downed power lines after storms. We share our experiences translating New View Safety and Resilience Engineering theories into practical actions.
