Safety Sucks!
The Bull $H!# in the Safety Profession They Don't Tell You About.
Samuel Uriah Goodman
BOOK REVIEW

In the world of safety professions, where the stakes are perilously high and the jargon often resembles a theatrical performance, Safety Sucks!: The Bull $H!# in the Safety Profession They Don't Tell You About by Samuel Uriah Goodman is nothing short of a seismic jolt. This isn't just a book; it's a wake-up call wrapped in unapologetic honesty, a hard-hitting exposé that dares to dismantle the sanitized facade of a field shrouded in red tape and bureaucratic nonsense. If you've ever felt trapped in a labyrinth of safety protocols and corporate speak, this book speaks directly to you.
Goodman, with his candid and irreverent style, takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the absurdities that plague the safety industry. He delves into the uncomfortable truths often swept under the rug-unspoken fears, misguided practices, and the crushing weight of liability that permeates every corner of this profession. It's a world where safety managers are often left to navigate murky waters with no compass and only a phony smile to guide them. And let's be honest, who hasn't felt the frustration of being told to "just follow the rules" while questioning the efficacy of those very rules?
With every turn of the page, Goodman provocatively challenges the status quo. His insights are sharp enough to slice through the jargon that often obscures the essential truths of workplace safety. He urges you to confront the elephant in the room-the often ridiculous safety regulations that, while well-intentioned, do little to actually protect workers. Instead, they create a culture of fear and compliance, stifling innovation and genuine safety improvement. This is not merely a critique but a call to arms for safety professionals to reevaluate their approach and prioritize real-world solutions over tick-box exercises.
The opinions of readers echo this sentiment. Many have praised Goodman for his authenticity and the much-needed humor he injects into a typically dry topic. However, it's not all praise; some critics argue that his irreverence can sometimes undermine the seriousness of workplace safety, suggesting that a pinch of levity may distract from the gravity of the subject matter. But herein lies the genius of Goodman's approach: he's not just teaching; he's challenging you to think critically, to question accepted norms, and to dare to push for change.
In a time when the pandemic has heightened awareness of workplace safety, Goodman's message is more relevant than ever. As safety professionals find themselves on the frontlines of a changing work environment, his insights serve as a refreshing reminder that real safety cannot be achieved through rote compliance alone but through a culture of open dialogue and continuous improvement.
If you've ever felt that safety was an inaccessible fortress guarded by layers of bureaucracy, let Safety Sucks! be your guide through the rubble. It promises not just to inform but to ignite a passion for meaningful change. As you navigate through Goodman's unvarnished truths, you'll find yourself both entertained and informed, laughing at the absurdities while grappling with the realities of your profession.
Don't let this opportunity slip through your fingers. Step into the world Goodman has unveiled-the good, the bad, and the utterly ridiculous of safety. Embrace the chaos, challenge the nonsense, and unlock a new understanding of what it means to truly protect your workforce. The curtain has been pulled back; now, it's time to act.
