EP 748 - Aging Out in the Safety Profession: Staying Relevant in a Changing Industry
Manage episode 499811910 series 2984207
What happens when decades of hard-earned safety experience start being seen as “old school” instead of invaluable? In this episode, Dr. Jay Allen dives into the often-ignored reality of aging out in the safety profession — when perception, bias, and organizational shifts begin to edge seasoned professionals toward the sidelines.
We’ll explore the challenges older safety pros face, the hidden strengths they bring to the table, and practical strategies for staying relevant, respected, and engaged in a rapidly evolving industry. Plus, we’ll talk about what organizations risk losing when they let experience walk out the door — and how they can retain that critical knowledge before it’s gone.
Whether you’re a veteran safety leader or just starting out, this conversation will challenge how you think about career longevity, mentorship, and the future of the safety field.
