Jorge Torres “The Bilingual Safety Guy”
Jorge Torres, CSP | The Bilingual Safety Guy
Allen Woffard is the voice and personality behind “Diary of a Bald Man.” Known for his self-deprecating humor and energetic presence, Allen describes himself as a coffee enthusiast, “ear trauma generator,” and a self-styled “bald badass” working behind the mic. Though he doesn’t claim greatness, he brings an infectious spirit to his podcast. After a recent pause to focus on writing—spurred by a single document that blossomed into multiple book projects—Allen returns to share updates and stories with his loyal listeners, blending wit, honesty, and the occasional apology tour along the way.
In this episode, I sit down with Jorge Torres—paramedic turned safety nerd, band booster president, and now author of Unburdened.
We talk about:
· How construction safety shaped his mission
· Starting a bilingual safety consultancy
· The emotional toll of workplace fatalities
· Why he wrote Unburdened to help others heal
Jorge’s story hits hard—especially if you’ve ever carried too much stress for too long and told yourself to “just keep grinding.”
His message? You’re not alone. It’s okay to not be okay. And there are tools to help you reset.
