About Blaine J. Hoffmann

For about 28 years, I have helped businesses design, implement, and sustain management systems and have shared leading industry practices.With one industrial business, I was able to help their leadership team identify and improve on critical safety/environmental management system gaps that contributed to higher turnover, increased costs/regulatory risk, and lowered employee morale. The results included new policies, training, writing role descriptions for leadership positions, and implementing a new management performance evaluation process driving positive culture development and team-building activities needed to attract, develop and motivate the best talent in the industry.My comprehensive knowledge of safety/environmental regulatory guidelines, procedures/standards development, statistics, and various reporting requisites ensures that I can help keep businesses compliant. I have expertise in executive consulting, project management, employee/team-building & coaching, and communication, with a strong ability to build and maintain relationships.I partner across all levels of the organization and have an excellent approach to problem resolution and defining best practices.Let’s see what we can build together!

Experience

   I have seen first-hand the results of ineffective safety management systems and poor safety culture on organizations and, more importantly, their people. I have made it my mission to teach others how to stay safe, use effective safety management tools, and continue to improve their safety culture. The SafetyPro Podcast is helping listeners manage safety one episode at a time.The SafetyPro Podcast was created to share workplace safety and health information and safety management approach with other safety professionals. With the constant regulatory and workplace culture challenges businesses face, I provide listeners with all the relevant information necessary to achieve a safer, more productive workplace. No management theory, platitudes, or guru speak - just actionable info listeners can use right now.
