Our 74th episode features a detailed and comprehensive discussion with Dr. I David Daniels on the unique risk factors found in Healthcare, Public Sector operations, and more and how these risks include Psychosocial factors and necessary risk controls. Thank you to Dr. Daniels for his return to the show and insights based on his experience, research and publications.
In our lighter 73rd episode, Cory and return guest Tim Guerinot test Cory’s old hypothesis from his previous published articles that Safety Management for him was actually learned from their punk rock band long before formal education.*note: I wasn’t sure this conversation was a total “match” for our Safety and Health discussions, but Dr. Hunter felt like it was worth adding as an outlier of sorts, related to previous episodes about the music / events industry and mental health and risk analysis/control. Tim and I had recorded the conversation, anyway, so we went ahead and posted it. If anything, maybe there’s something interesting in it :) - Cory
