Rather than answer, let me explain where my head is on this. Safety Professionals are meant to advise and consult. We’re intended to be a resource to people performing hard, often dangerous work. To help them solve problems so that they can complete their work with minimal damage to themselves, others, and the environment in which we live.
If that is truly our goal, how much sense does it make to get into our own Hall of Hush, where only those who share the room can benefit from our knowledge?
It’s time for safety to step outside of the box it’s constructed for itself and share our knowledge with others. Who knows, we might even learn a few things ourselves when we do.
