Today, I'm talking with Christl Aggus about the evolution of the health and safety profession and its future away from the current status quo towards a more global and kinder approach – where there is more trust in workers' competence and a move towards risk management rather than just liability protection.
As a consultant, your job involves more than just performing specific tasks related to the field. So, Christl is here to share how she approaches interactions through building relationships. She highlights the challenges of being a health and safety consultant and how to re-engage with new clients and customers.
Christl is an Alberta-based certified health and safety consultant and a Canadian registered safety professional with over 20 years of experience. Practicing through a risk management lens, Christl founded Principles Safety. She is dedicated to promoting public health and safety awareness through training and education.
In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Christl’s evolution as a consultant
  • The importance of individualized safety protocols
  • Top three challenges clients are reaching out for assistance with
  • Changing the narrative from safety to health and safety
  • Importance of mentorship and empowering safety practitioners at all levels in their careers
  • Building a professional network as a health and safety practitioner
  • The future of the health and safety profession
