Professional safety is in danger of extinction. Safety
professionals have become complacent and unfocused, ignorantly
relying on an 80-year-old paradigm. Lazy gimmicks are substituted
for the hierarchy of controls meant to be the foundation of the
profession. A $10,000 investment in posters makes zero improvement
in safety; a $10,000 investment in machine guarding upgrades can
save lives. By blending philosophy, history, and psychology, The
Fearless World of Professional Safety in the 21st Century is
revolutionary, offering an innovative approach with creative
solutions to move a safety program past the malarkey that has
devalued professional safety for decades. Using humor and
professional experience within a discussion of historical events
and published scientific findings, Scott Gesinger explores the
history of how current safety practices developed and why these
must change if the profession is to survive the 21st century. He
discusses new professional philosophies based on best practices in
industry, historical examples, scientific research outside of
safety, and proven approaches from other disciplines which can
successfully guide safety professionals into the future. Gesinger
provides a book for every safety professional that is candid,
plain-speaking, and eminently approachable, while at the same time
provides information that is new, challenging, and engaging.
