Amar Shahzad: Rethinking Safety Metrics, Human Factors and the Future of the Profession

Amar Shahzad: Rethinking Safety Metrics, Human Factors and the Future of the Profession

In this episode, Christian Harris speaks with Amar Shahzad, founder of the Occupational Health and Safety Institute Sweden and host of the Safety by Amar Shahzad podcast.

Amar opens up about the workplace accident that first drew him into safety. He unpacks the difference between compliance and genuine understanding, and reflects on the mindset shifts that came from interviewing respected voices in the field, including Todd Conklin and Sidney Dekker.

The episode explores why a good process can still end in a bad outcome, why lagging indicators alone do not capture the full picture, and what real engagement with frontline workers actually looks like. The pair close with a look at where safety is headed over the next decade, and the role AI is likely to play.

Listen in for a grounded, practical discussion on human-centred safety, drawn from real experience across Pakistan, Qatar and Sweden.
