Managing Safety in a Municipality: What’s Different, What Works

10 min 28 sec
In this episode of Compliance in Motion, host Tony DeAscentis sits down with Randy Milliron, a municipal safety manager with 28 years of experience spanning public sector, surface coal mining, and private industry. Randy shares what safety really looks like inside a municipality—where decentralized departments, long budget cycles, and diverse job roles create unique challenges that most private-sector safety programs never face. From managing safety across more than two dozen divisions to streamlining incident reporting and empowering supervisors to own safety outcomes, Randy offers practical insights on building consistency without slowing operations. This conversation explores how leadership, accountability, and right-sized training—especially for field-based workers—shape a safety culture that works in real-world government environments.
