Mitigating Human Risk and Influencing Decision-Making through Understanding Behavioral Science

In this episode, Mary Conquest speaks with Christian Hunt, a behavioral scientist with focus on safety.

Christian takes a deep dive into understanding human risk and how this concept helps EHS professionals become even more effective. 

He reveals how humans tend to be hidden risk magnets in the workplace and shares insights into the impact of action and inaction on safety. With a sharp focus on the synergy of ethics and compliance, Christian manages to draw the line between having too many or too few constraints on co-workers. While discussing daily safety procedures, he explains why a reformative and learning culture must underpin safety management, and how EHS professionals could harness basic marketing approaches to influence people and change behaviors.
