Episode 10 with Tim Page-Bottorff treats burnout as a leadership and work-design signal, not a private weakness, and shows how safety leaders can protect candor before overload silences the team.

A practical nine-step method for testing workload controls before peak production, with evidence for managers, EHS teams, and frontline supervisors.
Episode 10 with Tim Page-Bottorff presents storytelling as an operational entry point for psychological safety, provided the story leads to a clear concern, decision, and follow-up.
A near miss is not useful because it was harmless. It is useful when leaders convert the warning into a specific control decision that changes work before the same exposure returns.

A six-step field guide for verifying restored safeguards, isolation status, temporary conditions, and operating ownership before maintenance equipment returns to service.
