Safety Sucks!: The Bull $H!# in the Safety Profession They Don’t Tell You About.

by Samuel Goodman

"A thorough and needed rebuke of the modern safety profession." - Anonymous"This should be a required read for anyone looking to start in the safety field! Just read it damnit!" Matt D"If you’re in a leadership role of any capacity, read this!" - Dan RChange is hard, I get it. But we move beyond bad ideas by introducing better ideas. I truly believe that by continuing to have these “hard” conversations in an upfront, honest and fun way, we cultivate betterment. The safety profession has been stagnant for far too long. Safety folks are abused and misused, they’re often underpaid and overworked, they are undervalued and not appreciated, they find themselves being blamed and shamed when accidents occur, they are torn between the frontline and management, they have been forced to knowingly promote flawed, ineffective and disproven safety management systems – to preach from a bible in which they do not believe, and it's time for all of that to change.

To start, I really connected with the author and his experiences. I really enjoyed the book from start to finish. I am re-reading this (quick read) as I am using it in my safety management class. It's a great primer for those about to enter the profession (it's not all roses, rainbows, and unicorn farts). It's also a call to action for active safety professionals to get our collective shit together. I would actually rate this as a 4.5 star book, only dinging for a few formatting errors the publisher should have caught before releasing it to the wild.
