Dispatch Demystified: Inside Chicago 911

Imagine 20,000 calls per day. On average, that's what Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) is handling, from minor disturbances to life-and-death situations. And as a decorated 911 dispatcher with nearly 30 years experience, Amy Lovell's insight and contributions have helped shape the way police and fire teams respond. A go-to dispatcher for any major event where the eyes of the world are on Chicago — from parades to protests — Amy has won Illinois' Telecommunicator of the Year award twice, specifically for her professionalism and leadership during 2024's Democratic National Convention and the NATO Summit of 2012. Joined this week by Ozinga's Health & Safety VP Adam Pummer and Safety Manager Steve Lindley, Amy helps us learn what to expect on the other end of the line in an emergency, and how she's mentoring the newest generation of dispatchers.

episode Why Walsh Construction Puts Its People First artwork

Why Walsh Construction Puts Its People First

Having been in construction since his teens, Hank Botterman has seen every angle of the industry and has remained a leader in safety culture for decades. As former Health & Safety Director/VP of Walsh Construction — a consistent recipient of major industry safety awards and named by Forbes this year as one of America's best large-scale employers — Hank has been central to the company's ongoing strong safety performance and large-scale project delivery excellence, including a new multi-billion dollar data center campus for Microsoft in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin. This week, he joins Ozinga Health & Safety VP Adam Pummer to talk about his journey, why his approach to elevating the perception of risk has worked over the years, and why "people don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care."

Identifying Aches vs. Injuries, via The Chicago Fix

With over two decades of experience providing medical care to athletes of all stripes, Dr. Sargon Benjamin Odisho founded The Chicago Fix in 2016, combining chiropractic care, physical therapy, sports rehab and other services. But what sets Dr. Odisho's company apart is its mobile unit, which allows him to provide worksite wellness and on-the-job care in industries like construction, which is how he began working with Ozinga in 2022. His expertise -- partnered with equipment on the bus -- has led to significant efficiency improvements and less injuries. During today's conversation, led by Ozinga Health & Safety VP Adam Pummer, Dr. Odisho defines his approach, and provides information about how and why our bodies indicate pain, and what can be done about it before minor issues become major setbacks.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
