Our podcast has been rebranded!

After interviewing 141 guests representing 107 organizations and publishing 303 episodes downloaded in more than 81 nations, we decided it was time to rebrand our podcast to reflect our broader network of experts and listener base from around the world. As a result, in January 2026, The Safety Leadership Collective was born.

The Safety Leadership Collective is a podcast by the Portage County Safety Council, bringing people together to elevate workplace safety, leadership, and well-being. Based in Ravenna, Ohio, we spark meaningful conversations with safety and leadership experts from across the nation—sharing insights, inspiration, and practical ideas that help build stronger cultures and safer workplaces for all.

Our podcasts are available on most podcast apps such as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, Podbean, & TuneIn/Alexa! Access relevant workplace safety information right through your phone!
