When every incident feels like it demands a deep dive, what do you do with the ones that simply… don’t?

In this episode, Blaine J. Hoffmann, MS OSHM sits down with Alexander Paradies from TapRooT® | System Improvements, Inc.® to tackle a tricky reality in safety: how do you determine—honestly and confidently—when there’s nothing more to learn from an incident?

They break down:
- How to follow a consistent, well-defined incident analysis strategy
- How to make sound judgments without minimizing real risk
- When to document and move on—and how to do it transparently
- Why disciplined analysis builds trust, credibility, and resilience in your culture

If you struggle with over-investigating minor events or feeling pressured to “find something,” this one’s for you. Knowing when you’ve reached the end of learning is part of a mature process. Check it out on YouTube and be sure to HIT SUBSCRIBE! 👇

There are tons of great books on leadership, safety, performance, and personal growth. We read them, get inspired, and think, “That’s a great idea! We should do that!” And then… nothing changes.

Yes, the Book Manager! Have you ever had one of these? The problem isn’t the ideas—it’s the lack of a plan to turn them into action.

In a recent interview, we spoke with Alexander Paradies from TapRooT® | System Improvements, Inc. about the history of RCA and briefly touched on the difference between reading for inspiration and managing change effectively.

Leaders don’t just read and nod along. They take insights, build a plan, and execute real change.

👉 What’s one book that inspired you? And what did you actually DO with it?

Drop your thoughts below, and let’s discuss turning inspiration into impact.

🚨 Could OSHA actually go away?

That’s the big question I explored in a deeper discussion with OSHA attorney Phillip Russell on the latest episode of The SafetyPro Podcast.
