Who is the Safety Guy? What is Safety Engineering?

Wel­come to the first episode in the Safe­ty Guy pod­cast. In this show, your host, Doug Nix, will share a vari­ety of per­spec­tives on machin­ery safe­ty top­ics. In this episode you’ll get to know a bit about Doug and his back­ground, then you’ll learn a bit about the safe­ty engi­neer­ing discipline.
