Welcome to the Environmental Transformation Podcast with your host, Sean Grady. In this high-impact episode, we’re joined by Sam Goodman, also known as The HOP Nerd—a leading voice in Human and Organizational Performance (HOP), safety culture innovation, and host of The HOP Nerd Podcast.
🎙️ In This Episode:
Sam breaks down what HOP (Human and Organizational Performance) really means, why traditional safety programs often fall short, and how organizations can shift from blame-based models to system-level improvements that foster real operational learning, psychological safety, and frontline employee engagement.
🧠 Topics We Cover:
What is Human and Organizational Performance (HOP)?
How HOP differs from traditional safety programs
The dangers of TRIR (Total Recordable Incident Rate) obsession
Why blame, shame, and retrain doesn't work
Moving from “who failed?” to “what failed?”
How leadership response shapes safety culture
Using comedy and storytelling to drive cultural change
The origins and mission of The HOP Nerd
Downloadable video resources for safety meetings
🔑 Key Takeaways for Safety Professionals & Leaders:
Stop focusing on just injury metrics—start listening to workers.
Safety isn’t the absence of incidents—it’s the presence of capacity to fail safely.
Silence in an organization is dangerous—learn how to create environments where truth-telling is encouraged.
Good safety culture starts with curious, calm leadership responses.
🔥 Whether you're in EHS leadership, a frontline worker, or just tired of meaningless checklists, this episode gives you the tools and mindset shift you need to create sustainable safety transformation.
