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.
