Video: two lies, one truth – the science of social norms

In his first video for SHP Safety Talks, Andrew Sharman, CEO of RMS, introduces the game ‘Two lies, one truth’, asks what makes people reuse their towels in hotel bathrooms, why people give money to buskers, and explains how all of this applies to health and safety.

Andrew gives an insight into why people behave the way they do, drawing on his vast depth of experience and understanding.

The SHP Safety Talks are a series of small thought pieces designed to get you thinking, whilst perhaps sipping your morning coffee. The SHP team have invited key individuals from the safety world to deliver these mini-lectures, and you can expect only the most insightful challenging and engaging threads.

For more videos from the SHP Safety Talks series, visit our CPD  downloads page.

Looking forward to the next video. Hopefully it will contain the answers on how to set behavioural expectations especially from a leadership perspective?…

Fantastic topic, something that tends to go unnoticed or forgotten about. I am a firm believer in leading by example. Fantastic way to get senior managers thinking and to explore this further.
