Lazy gimmicks are substituted for the hierarchy of controls meant to be the foundation of the profession.

By blending philosophy history and psychology The Fearless World of Professional Safety in the 21 st 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 21 st 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.
