Show Notes
In Episode 1188 of The Rated R Safety Show, Dr. Jay Allen cuts through the noise to ask a simple but powerful question: are we making safety systems better—or just more complicated? From minimum OSHA standards to over-engineered protections, Jay challenges listeners to rethink what’s truly effective in the workplace.
Along the way, he unpacks trending headlines: Trump, Zelensky, and NATO tensions, mass protests in Tel Aviv, U.S.–India trade fallout, China–India border talks, and OpenAI’s push for a warmer, friendlier ChatGPT. Plus: jewel heists, Hollywood box office shake-ups, TikTok’s “tired girl” trend, and even an 82-year-overdue library book.
This episode blends safety talk, world events, and a dose of irreverent honesty—all wrapped in the signature Rated R Safety Show style.
