Frontline Fundamentals - Start Work Authority - David McPeak, CUSP
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
In this enlightening episode of "Frontline Fundamentals," host David McPeak, CUSP delves into the concept of Start Work Authority, a proactive approach designed to complement the widely recognized Stop Work Authority. David challenges industry norms by advocating for a shift from job-based qualifications to task-specific competence. He emphasizes the importance of self-assessment, continuous evaluation, and the ability to adapt to varying work environments and tasks. This episode is a must-listen for safety professionals and frontline workers aiming to enhance their safety protocols and operational efficiency.
Key Takeaways:
- Start Work Authority vs. Stop Work Authority: Understanding the difference and importance of both concepts.
- Task-Specific Competence: The necessity of evaluating workers’ readiness for specific tasks rather than relying solely on job qualifications.
- Continuous Self-Assessment: Encouraging workers to assess their own fitness for duty and seek help when necessary.
- Adapting to Changing Environments: Strategies for maintaining safety and efficiency when faced with new tasks or environments.
- Building the Right Culture: Creating an environment where workers feel comfortable admitting when they need help or are unfit for a task.

Frontline Fundamentals - It’s Your Ship with David McPeak CUSP
Friday Sep 02, 2022
Friday Sep 02, 2022
Understanding. That’s a one-word summary of why you should read this book and what you will learn from it. Understanding yourself first and then understanding others. Understanding what others expect from you and your team and understanding situations and the impacts of your decisions. Finally, my favorite line from the book, understanding the more control you give up, the more command you get. It’s your ship!

Frontline Fundamentals - The Success Principles, CUSP
Topics Covered:
Extreme Ownership
Normalization of Deviation
Us Versus Them Mentalities
Have you ever read a book and ended up with so many sticky notes as placeholders, highlights and margin notes it was difficult to read again? This is one of those books for me. I was expecting a bunch of cool SEAL stories, which I got. What I wasn’t expecting and was thrilled to see is how insightful and practical the book is for individuals and organizations. In this presentation we'll establish what Extreme Ownership means and how we can apply it to our leadership and safety. Following that, we’ll use exerts from the book to discuss specific challenges we face every day and principles that will help us overcome those challenges. As the authors say, “The principles are simple, but not easy. Taking ownership for mistakes and failures is hard. But doing so is key to learning, to developing solutions, and, ultimately, to victory.”
