Navigating Risk Matrices in Safety Management | Risk Matrix Episode 108

Risk Matrix #108: Navigating Risk Matrices in Safety Management

Are those red-yellow-green boxes on your JHAs actually helping workers or just creating colorful paperwork?

In this episode of The Risk Matrix Podcast, Dr. Logan Martin and James Junkin examine one of safety’s most common tools: the risk matrix. They challenge whether these assessment tools belong in field documents or should stay in planning phases where they add real value.

Together, they explore:

  • Where risk matrices actually belong
  • Why “it’s too late to draw it up in the dirt” once you’re in the field
  • The Trinity County confined space tragedy and H2S safety lessons
  • Defending workers vs blaming them for system failures
