Safety Heroes - the Health, Safety, and Environment Podcast
The Health, Safety, and Enviroment space is made of everyday people who are real-life heroes, committed to creating a safe environment and engaging safety culture within their companies. Their priority is to ensure each and everyone of their employees gets to return home after a day’s work unharmed, and that both wellbeing and the planet are a core consideration: they are unsung heroes.
In fact, you never hear about them when they do their jobs right!
We want to celebrate these everyday people and inspire others in that space to look at things differently, improve their safety management plans and overall learn as a collective; making “HSE” a cornerstone of every company’s culture.
So let’s celebrate those leaders from the Health, Safety, and Environment space who stand on the frontline and the emotional/human implications of working in the safety space.

Sukhy Hogwood - Safety by Design and the intertwined nature of Health, Safety, Environment, and Wellbeing and workplace efficiency
In this week’s episode, Mousa Yassin has a fascinating conversation with Sukhy Hogwood, fhrmer Head of HSEW Europe - People & Places Solutions at Jacobs and recently appointed SHEQ Director at Network Rail.
Sukhy recounts her unexpected journey into the health and safety sector, motivated by a tragic accident early on.
Over the past 20 years, she has dramatically broadened safety practices to include mental wellbeing, sustainability, and environmental considerations; and highlights two innovative programs she spearheaded at Jacobs: 'Five in Design,' which integrates safety into design processes, and a comprehensive mental health and wellbeing initiative.
The conversation delves into the evolving safety landscape, the impact of leadership engagement on safety culture, and the critical role of happiness and mental wellbeing in the workplace. Sukhy’s passion and commitment to creating safer, happier work environments shine throughout the discussion, making this episode a valuable listen for anyone interested in holistic safety and wellbeing strategies that translate into workplace efficiency and is good for the bottom line.
