Episode 75 — Safety, Environmental, and Social Risk
Projects operate within communities and ecosystems, making safety, environmental, and social risk both ethical imperatives and governance requirements. This episode frames these domains as objectives alongside cost and schedule, not as afterthoughts. You will learn to translate hazards, emissions, and community impacts into explicit risks with indicators, thresholds, and response owners. The PMI-RMP exam may present scenarios where protective measures compete with delivery pressure; strong choices uphold documented tolerances and escalation rules, demonstrating that safety and social license are non-negotiable boundaries rather than tradeable preferences.
We provide grounded practice examples: job hazard analyses tied to leading injury indicators, environmental monitoring with trigger limits and contingency remediation plans, and stakeholder engagement steps that reduce protest or permit delays. Best practices include integrating safety briefings into cadence, documenting near-miss learning, and maintaining incident command roles for rapid response. Troubleshooting guidance covers conflicting contractor standards, supply materials with uncertain provenance, and inadequate community communication that escalates reputational risk. Treating these areas with the same rigor as technical risks protects people, preserves timelines, and aligns with exam scenarios that reward principled, evidence-backed decisions.
