Shaking Up Safety Culture With Allan James Moore
With experience ranging from translation work in Taiwan to reshaping global safety cultures, Allan James Moore offers a fearless, people-centered approach to leadership.
From courtside to construction sites, Allan James Moore has carved out a leadership style all his own—fusing language, laughter, and lived experience into a message safety professionals can actually use.
In this episode of Safety Spotlight, Allan shares his one-of-a-kind journey into the safety world, starting with a translator role in Taiwan for Stanley Black & Decker and evolving into a career that spans international safety operations. He weaves stories with punchlines and purpose, making the case for leadership that’s more human, more real—and way less rigid.
What do Mandarin, basketball, and stand-up comedy have to do with safety? According to Allan, everything. He introduces us to his bold “Party Crasher” approach—an idea that flips the traditional leadership model on its head. You don’t wait to be invited to create culture—you step in with intention, authenticity, and care.
Humor becomes a tool, not a distraction. “I got your back” becomes more than just words—it’s a commitment you live by. Whether you’re new to the safety space or a seasoned pro, Allan’s take on leadership is both refreshing and deeply practical.
He also dives into how metrics can mislead, why top-down enforcement rarely inspires change, and how empathy and humility drive results where rules alone can’t. Want more? Watch the full episode and others on our YouTube channel.
