With a first degree in computer science and psychology, Bridget started her working life in Human Factors, initially in IT and later in high-hazard industries. After completing an MSc in Occupational Health and Safety Management, she moved full-time into tackling occupational health and safety challenges through her consultancy, The Safer Choice Limited.

Bridget’s consultancy, training and writing focus on two things which continue to surprise her. First, the frequent failure to consider the impact of the physical and psycho-social working environment on safety outcomes. Secondly, the notable lag in the adoption of technology by safety teams compared to other departments in the same organisations. She studies the use of traditional, upcoming and futuristic technologies in safety, while keeping her feet planted firmly in human factors.
