What the show is really about

Safety without the theater

On paper, everything is under control.

In practice, you already know it is not that simple.

Hazardously Honest sits in that gap between the procedure

and what actually happens on the floor.

Each episode pulls apart things most teams only whisper about

• Near misses that never make it into the reports

• Drills no one remembers a month later

• Metrics that look great until something goes wrong

• Workers who see the risks first but are last to be heard

• Leadership messages that sound inspiring and fix nothing

If you have ever walked out of a safety meeting thinking

This looks good in a slide deck but it will not change behavior

this show is your corner of the internet.

Meet your Hosts

Amanda Hughes

Senior EHS & Risk Management Professional

Environmental Health and Safety leader who has run complex programs across multiple sites for brands like MARS and KIND.

Amanda brings

• War stories from audits, investigations and corrective actions

• The reality of running programs across plants, shifts and cultures

• The clash between what corporate wants and what the field will actually do

She is the one asking

Does this make people safer or just make the report look better

Samantha Mathews

Founder LOCI INC

Spatial memory and training designer who obsesses over why people forget drills but remember where their favorite snack lives in the pantry.

Samantha has spent years turning PowerPoint safety material into lived experience and on site practice.

She brings

• Neuroscience behind why people freeze or forget under pressure

• Learning design that sticks in the body not just the brain

• A blunt question in every episode

Why does no one remember the drill we just ran

Samantha is also the founder of LOCI, the QR driven safety drill system that helps companies cut onboarding time, automate compliance and reduce training costs while improving retention.

Who this podcast is for

You will feel at home here if you are

• A safety manager trying to move beyond checklists and posters

• An HSE or EHS lead wrestling with culture, not just compliance

• A business continuity or risk person who knows the plan assumes a perfect day

• An operations leader who worries more about the night shift than the town hall

• A front line supervisor who is tired of pretending every form equals behavior change

You do not need another podcast telling you to communicate more and care more.

You need real examples, uncomfortable truths and practical ideas you can test this month.

What you will get each episode

Every episode of Hazardously Honest follows a simple pattern

• A real story from the field. An audit that went sideways, a drill that failed, an incident that changed everything or a near miss that never made it to the dashboard.

• The human side. How workers reacted, where leaders misread the room, what people actually felt but did not say.

• The brain science. Why people did what they did, how memory and stress shaped the outcome and what could have been designed differently.

• The systems view. Which policy, metric or incentive quietly pushed the situation toward risk.

• Three practical shifts. Small changes you can make in your own program to move from safety theater to safety that holds up under pressure.
